I love Geiss and Milkdrop. Milkdrop is my favorite visualization, and one of the reasons that I use Winamp.
Milkdrop is silky smooth on my PC. Geiss 2 is choppy. I have:

Athlon XP 1800+ 512 MB
Nvidia Ti4200 64 MB
Windows XP + SP1 + all patches + DX9.0a

Running it at 1280 x 1024 x 888 x 60 Hz, full size vertical. Any lower resoltion, and it won't match my native LCD resoltion.

With your setup it is unliekly that Geiss 2 will run faster than MilkDrop.

MilkDrop is 3d gfx card based and Geiss 2 is processer driven.

You should compare Geiss 2 to Geiss for speed comparisions.

Although AMD chips appear to be run a little slow for it compared to equivlant Intel CPU's

I started to say that Geiss 2 is much slower than Geiss, but I took a look at my Geiss settings, and I remember now that it is limited to 800 x 600 resolution. I dropped the resolution of Geiss 2 down to 800 x 600, and now it is perfectly smooth -- just like the original. Guess it is time to upgrade my processor. :)
