My PC configuration is: Athlon64 2800+, 1024 MB DDRAM, 80 Maxtor ATA133, 200 Seagate SATA, Sapphire Radeon 9800SE 8 pipelines activated...

When I set "Show window content when draging" my dragged window is no smooth, this is only what i want, how can I set in Ati Tray Tools for better performance?

If ATI Smartgart is disabled, enable it and reboot. After that you can disable it again. This solved my problem.

Try to enable/disable FastWrites and check out the SmartGart settings
