Here is the answer to your problem
I also could not get above 7-12 fps, but have now resolved it. The problem appears to be that Links does not really recognize the graphics device. You can try the following
The device id for the ATI Radeon 9200 should be 0x5961, you can verify this by running DXDIAG.
Go to the Links 2003 directory and find the file Videocard.txt
Open the file with Notepad, and locate the following: "Vendor = 0x1002 "ATI"
Below that are a number of device id's, got to the last one before the next "Vendor =" line, and enter the following below it
0x5961 = Radeon 9200 (if dxdiag shows a different device id for your card enter that instead)
On the next line you can also add "NoCopyZInVidMem" without quotes
Save the file and open Links and select the Radeon 9200 as your card
Had the same problem and fixed my problem instantly. Just check DirectX and use the correct number as identified..
