Well, Blackwood and South City got higher resolution textures and if you're driving the FBM, that car is more detailed than the other cars. Your video card is pretty old so I don't think there's a whole lot you can do about it.
Did you try lowering some graphics settings in LFS? For instance not using full textures and decreasing the LOD?

This is only my personal opinion, but LFS is best with at least a 2GB processor, 512MB of RAM and 128MB video card. I know it can be run successfully on less able hardware, but you will find it performs much better with an equal or (preferably) higher spec than I have posted here.

I ran a very similar spec as you have for a long time, and was extremely happy when I upgraded my hardware. My PBs tumbled overnight with every car/track combo.
I always asking my cousin for video card cuz he buy a new one and he dont anymore use that video card. Video card is ati radeon 9250 128 mb. And after chirstmas when i will have some money i going to buy 512 mb of ram

Cool, that should make things a bit smoother for you in LFS. Perhaps it would be a good idea to save for a new system though? A good system is much more affordable than it was two years ago, you get a lot of bang for your buck these days.
Nah... Not going to buy new pc cuz i will move to another place then i will buy a "monster"

Did you tried "Dynamic LOD reduction" (Options->Misc)? I set it to 0.80 when I had old GF6200 and it helped a lot.
*grin* I want a processor with 2GB of Cache!!!
Please don't kill me Gunn?

Change to use the following settings

1) 16 bit gfx
2) Half texture size.
3) Enable dither.

This should help if you have not used them.
its not hard to upgrade for cheap and have an ok system that will do alright.

80gb hard drive or use yours($60):http://www.tigerdirect.com/app ... pNo=3318115&CatId=139

use your cd drive and thats a whole computer for $245 dollars after rebates that will get very well fps in most games on lower settings. i think this is a very good deal if you ask me. you might be able to make something cheaper but i dont think it would compete with this setup. you would be very happy with it. save a little money with your christmas money and buy this setup if you want and you will have nice fps then. sell your old computer for a few bucks to get some money back in your pocket after the new one.

edit: i have a 7300gs and can play cod 2 and others on it fine so i think the gt would be a little better.
