I previously was using XP 64bit with no problems but I installed 32bit because of lack of driver support. After the switch I had no issues but recently I have been experiencing the problem where my EQ1 session is running too fast when I use WinEQ, it seems the client is faster than the server. I can tell this because the spell slider goes away than takes about a second before I get a buff icon.
I also run faster than anyone in the game. When trying to use autofollow I blow people away which sucks because I multibox.
I have 3 pcs and this is only happening on 1 of them which is my only dual core one. I tried with CPU Affinity in off and on positions with the same results. If I do not use WinEQ than I have no issues. Maybe there is a setting I have wrong you can help me with. Here is my info:

Everquest 1 runs too fast causing issues.

If you disable the CPU Affinity setting, EQ1 will be unstable and might not even make it into the game. Then if you, say, type /camp, each "It will take 30 more seconds" line will show up multiple times. It's kind of fun, I guess.
Anyway, with it ON, it should be successfully restricted to a single CPU. You can verify that (but not change it because EQ1 is dumb like that) by opening the windows task manager (ctrl+alt+del), right clicking on eqgame.exe in the processes tab, and looking under CPU Affinity. Each session should only have ONE cpu in the list (CPU 0 or CPU 1). Any more and, well, stuff described above.
If only one CPU is selected, then you're just faster than everyone else. It sounds like it's still using both, though. Otherwise, EQPlayNice would be limiting it to 40 frames a second (with dual core, EQPN cant properly limit the framerate without features not yet available in retail Windows -- it will work with Windows Vista though).
If all else fails, you can try disabling the EQPlayNice integration under EverQuest, General in the WinEQ 2 preferences.
