P4 running...now troubleshooting

[loaded_chambers]

I finally got my P4 to boot and it works fine(sorta)but now it seems to be "lagging". I tried to benchmark it with 3dmark2001SE and it averaged around 17FPS on low detail on the first test. I know my geforce fx is more than enough video card, so what could be the problems? I have all the latest drivers for everything. My mobo came with a monitoring software and it says my cpufan isn't going fast enough. What is the average RPM for a stock intel heatsink? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If it isnt going fast enough, you should get a new fan cuz that could be causing the "lagging" in your computer, though other things might also cause the "lagging". Is this happening right after a clean install?

The stock Intel 'sink runs 2900RPM or less. It's quiet and does a good job of cooling. You're not gonna get that much better cooling by getting a different heatsink at this point.

Some information on your specs would be helpful, tho :)
