Default Slow Performance Quadro Fx 1000 Dual Monitor

I hope I'm in the right group. I didn't see many quadro card posts. I
have installed a Quadro FX 1000. I have it set up for dual monitors.
One is DVI the other is VGA. Latest Drivers are installed. When I try
to play any type of video file format the playback is choppy. DVD
movies choppy also. I think I have teweaked as many settings as I can
for performance but I don't see much improvement. All my videos used
to play just fine with my ATI 9700 card. Is it really that much of a
performance hit to run a dual monitor setup?

Can anyone shed some light if this is normal with dual monitor setup
or am I missing something in the settings dialog?

Setup

Athlon XP 2400
512MB
Dell 19" 1905F DVI
Samsung 17" VGA

Thanks

You might want to check the following things:
- Is "Assign IRQ to VGA" enabled? (check Your BIOS)
- Windows hardware acceleration enabled?
- ATA DMA modes for HD/DVD drive enabled?
- Did You remove the previous drivers _completely_?

I know from this effect often coming from remaining pieces of the previous
drivers.
