all graphics ingame set to medium except for shadows set to low
on WinXP Pro SP3, all updates as of today.

And I get 50 to 65 fps in open areas and 40 to 55 fps in crowded ones and I only see slow down and no stutters. But it does stutter upon loading a new area for a second.

Now what gives here, is it because I don't have to use the PhysX stuff because of my agp card ???

Interesting Huh ?
No, it's not interesting. Your game settings are set extremely low. If I ran at those settings I'd probably get 60 frames per second with Vsync on (maximum). Although at that resolution the game would be blurry and stretched for me making the game unplayable.

EDIT: I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I am merely telling you why your computer performs so well at those settings.
