I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you post the the DxDiag information of the machine? To run the DirectX diagnostics tool:

For Windows XP: Press 'Start' and select 'run'. Type dxdiag in the text field and Click "OK".
For Windows Vista/7: Press 'Start' and type dxdiag and hit enter.

When you do this, a window will pop up. Click the "Save All Information" button, located in its lower right corner. Once you have saved the file, you can open it and copy-paste the top part of the (not all the driver info).

i would recommend visiting http://www.geforce.com/Drivers instead of letting you computer find the updates for your graphics card.
i used manual update method and my small onboard graphics will run 2 clients with no lag

also if you minimize your client while it is loging in and loading after character selection will reduce freeze ups
hope this helps until ccp comes up with a solution
