128 of RAM running on win 2k is pretty slow. Doubling the RAM could help with the speed issue. 128 of RAM is great for running win 98 or even NT, but is slow for 2000.

As for the driver issue, upgrade your drivers from ATI's web site. They've released 3 new drivers since the Radeon 8500 first started selling.
