Heat, is the rig overclocked at all?; or possibly drivers. Any custom sounds or anything non-standard that could be contributing to this?
I'd go ahead and post the top 1/3rdish of your DxDiag so people have more info to help you.

You forgot to ask for system specs too.  said that because when I was using AMD I had this because of the threading problem.

Now Chalenge, if we're going to have a stOOpid race, I'd bet I'd finish first.
[ went to local airshow and didn't check camera batteries, after a dozen pictures it died and no more pictures for fuzeman.  :cry ]

Pannono, i think the guru's that can help you will need more of the report than just the top info.

2.87GB of RAM??  How did you come up with that number?

The 6150SE is a very low end video chip.  Make sure you set the "Maximum Texture Size" in the game's "Video Settings" to 256, or less and do not run the video resolution higher than 1024x768.

What operating system?

You need to stay on top of the video card drivers for Vista as they were all very bad when Vista shipped.

Also note, you must run the game in "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode when using an AMD dual core CPU and Vista.

I am a computer moron (and a moron in real life too  :)) but maybe going into control panel (i have Nvidia control panel there) or my computer. it's gotta be listed somewhere on your computer. Perhaps i should let an expert intervene and give you the correct answer.
