Xasthur & Orbital,
What graphics card do you use and what are your settings in-game & out? If you don’t mind me asking.
Not at all, mate, I use a Nvidea 8500 GT which has 512mg dedicated RAM if I am not mistaken.
I run the game at 1024 textures with the hi-res pack... all details set to max. I also pre-load the textures (which is an option at the opening AH menu). It makes the game take about 2 full minutes to load up initially but it seems to help the game run faster once I get in there.
My computer is a stock HP that came with Vista... works fine for me
