FSB bus speed:400 Mhz
FSB clock:100 Mhz
DRAM clock: 166 Mhz
cpu clock:100 Mhz( enabled by auto setting)
cpu speed:2.6 GHz
All memory timings are controled by SPD
agp fastwrite=yes
agp read=no
agp write=no
AGP BUS: agp 8x

directx 9.0c
Video Driver:Nvidia driver 67.66
VideoCard overclocked at : 366 MHz [Core] and  671 Mhz [memory](with RivaTuner at High quality settings for 3d and opengl )
System Driver: Via 4 in 1 driver,5.1.35 version (stable driver)
Using virtual memory aprox 1.5 X 512 MB[physical memory]
Page File Usage: 311 MB
Windows Appearance Interface  is in Performance Mode.

[The problem] :
Regarding the overcloking,  the system cannot manage the agp bus.
if the agp fastwrite , agp read and agp write are enabled in BIOS the system becomes unstable and in games is freezing (including counter-strike 1.6  ver).
if the agp fastwrite , agp read and agp write are disabled the system is stable but  pour 3d performance (9 FPS in doom 3 [with medium settings at 640*480 , all special FX on , ] on  geforce 6600 overcloked  )
If the videocard is not overcloked still the same problem.
Scanned for viruses/spyware/etc  and none found.
Hdd defrag.
With the hyperion driver the problem becomes worse.[the system is freezing without entering any game]
The latest nvidia driver do not solve the problem.Has no effect.

I have a voodoo2-1000 card.
I've heard people saying that this card is a display adapter
and other saying that this card is a video accelerator.
So,wich is it ?

I've tryed all drivers (including this location: http://www.geocities.com/dborca/ )  and all combination ,and nothing works.
Now ,I know that Hitman2,hitman3 had been designed for d3d platform only,but the develloper had included an  openGl render.
In the hitman2.ini file :
I changed the line :DrawDll RenderD3D.dll with DdrawDll RenderOpenGl.dll,set the colour depth to 16,and the resolution to 640x480.
I have downloaded and  installed the opengl32.dll(mesa 6.3.0.1), in the hitman3 folder, created a batch file
in wich I wrote these 2 lines:
SET MESA_FX_MAXLOAD=10
hitman2.exe

Then I launched the game via this batch file and As you seen above its
limping.
So if have the same problem ,please report.
Current glide driver in-use:KoolSmoky's glide driver for winxp
Current mesafx glide library in-use:opengl32.dll mesafx(ver 6.3.0.1)


Here is some screenshots taken (until the game halts):
