So after some more thought, I figured that it might be my sound card because 99CobraCvt said that he replaced his sound card and I remembered that a friend of mine had some serious problems with his Athlon and sound card. So I broke out my old MX300 and when I booted into Windows it seems fine but when ever I try and play a game that uses DirectX or OpenGL my sound dies. Using software rendering this does not happen. This is really driving me insane. I am really thinking of dumping this Athlon and picking up a P4.

Brian: I'll download that patch as soon as possible. 99CobraCvt: I was not aware of DirectX 8.1 Beta, if you could supply a link that would be great. But I do question your use of AGP 1X. I noticed a rather large performance increase when the VIA 4in1 drivers gave me use of AGP 4X. I really need the extra bandwidth for Tribes 2.

Everything used to work fine with my old system, which was a Celeron 336 and an Abit BH6, but then I upgraded. My new rig has a Classic Athlon 950MHz and an Asus K7V. Both DirectX and OpenGL do not work right. DirectX is delayed. Any input, be it mouse, keyboard, or joystick takes almost a full second for it to respond. It is just like have a very high ping. OpenGL will crash at random times and will bring down my whole system, so i have to reboot. I have a GeForce 2MX with the latest Detonator drivers, version 12.something. And i have installed the latest final version of the VIA 4in1 Drivers. Can someone please help me, because i really want to get gaming again.
