Heavy UFO slowdown

Topic title sums it up.

Normally, this wouldn't be so odd, but I was checking out the wiki page for it, and, unless there's more requirements then what's listed there, this computer meets or exceeds all of them.

EDIT: Same problem with SA.

I think SA comes with a DirectX install directory, try installing that, it has some updates needed by SA and the other later games.  Outside of that, might be something else.  What're your hardware specs?  Specifically, your CPU and videocard.

CPU's a Celeron D 3.20GHZ. Graphics "card" is apparently an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset.

The Xpress 200 isn't much of a graphics chip.  =/  Check for updated videocard drivers too, but it might help getting a new videocard.  Even real cheap ones will be a long way away from what you've got. 

Unfortunately, the games from the last couple years do some advanced texturing and 3d backgrounds, so they do require a fairly powerful videocard.
