I will be upgrading to a new vid card soon, but at the moment I have P4 1.6 Ghz, 256 ram, radeon 7000 64 Mg vid card running win me. I tried running AH2 but the frame rate was so low it showed 0 frame rate & I had to wait about a minute between frames. I tried all the vid settings but no difference.

Hey Morris.
yeah Mate you need a 128meg vid card.
Try out the ATI 9600xt.
Also you might want to add some more ram 256 more should do it.
Also Never been a fan of window ME but if you like it then thats all that counts LOL.

Hey Morris,

Make sure your using the newest Cat drivers and control panel so you can turn down some of the eye candy before ever loading the game..  I had same prob with my 9500 and turned things down in windows (left Vert Sync on) and now getting about 30  to 45 FPS in tower..  

Hope you don't have to do what I did but I had to uninstall EVERYTHING ATI before I installed the Cat 3.8 drivers or it wouldn't work right..    Also is it P4 or Celeron?

Shouldn't need a 128mb vid card, atleast now from what HTC has posted in the past where they said a GF2 would do it.

I have windows ME as a backup OS on my machine, framerates while running ME are 50% lower than while running XP.
    Also my ti4200 128m vid card always shows more than 64M in use while running AH2, so while 64M my be enough to run it , 128M will improve your performance.
