Massive fps drop starbase 24

This was not like this on OB, but in starbase 24 when the second wave of ships appears, my fps instantly drop from about 50 avg to 5 avg. I was using the same drivers I did in open beta, ran into this problem, and updated to the newest ones today.

Setup is
2.9ghz amd athlon x2
gt 240 1gb ddr5
4gb ddr2
W7 x64

Not the best rig for gaming, but it ran amazingly well in open beta SB24. I have played with all the video settings, and it made NO diff at all even at lowest. MSI afterburner reads GPU usage at about 3-5% when this happens. I get more GPU usage doing the "scan 5 friggin things" missions.:eek:

Thank you in advance for any help anyone might be able to give.

    I noticed quite a bit of slowdown at SB 24 when the second wave hit, and I'm running the system in my sig. I think it's just because there's so much debris in that system that the second wave will push even a GTX 275/Core i7 combo too far.
