You didn't install a proper Driver, thus XP is using its default (incapable) one.

WinXP Drivers :
http://www.falconfly.de/voodoo3.htm

With only 128MB RAM, you should get rid of WinXP ASAP and re-install Win98SE. Even with the right Driver, your System will almost continuously Swap data because of insufficient System RAM, absolutely crippling performance.

As soon as you can afford 256 or better 512MB RAM, you could use Win2000 SP4 as a good compromise.
