holy or unholy, only have one homie, only this gun, lonely cuz don't anyone know me
Yet everybody just feels like they can relate, I guess words are a motha****a they can be great
or they can degrate, or even worse they can teach hate

You may have video card issues. What kind of video do you have? Make sure you have the latest drivers for your hardware and the latest patch for NWN. You might also want to dial back your video setting in case you are overworking your video card.
Another thing to do is shut off everything on your computer that's using system resources but isn't absolutely essential for the operation of your computer. Things like tray icons, hardware monitoring software, Gator, etc. can all be shut down to free up system resources (CPU number-crunching power and RAM). To play NWN, the only things need to run from your quickstart tray are your sound drivers, your video drivers, your anti-virus software and your firewall (if you have one). Otherwise, turn everything else off through MSConfig (in Windows 98; it may be called something else in other versions of Windows, ask Mr Flibble or Ned Flanders).
Other (fairly inexpensive) ways to improve your game's performance:
Buy more RAM.
Get a better video card.
Get a better sound card (especially if you're using onboard AC97 sound).
