Fallout 2 works w/o problems, but Fallout is slow. More like a diashow when trying to play. Help would be appreciated

It already have been discussed on the forum. :)
Try to remove ddraw.dll from your Fallout folder.

Fallout funs really slow for me and the stated solution doesn't work for me.
Removing ddraw.dll on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 (2.3 GHz, 4 GB Memory) kills the games colors, the entire screen is a rainbow of colors all staticy after removing that file.

I get the same problem: Fallout runs at about half speed. Removing ddraw.dll makes it impossible to play: the intro videos run, but then the screen goes green and refuses to refresh.

EDIT: Fixed my problem! Out of curiosity I installed this hi-res patch everyone's talking about. When I enabled it and selected Direct X instead of Direct Draw, the slow down went away instantly.
