I personally have that game and had somewhat similar horsepower under the
hood.. Running Vista business and my video card is a little stronger being a
ATI toxic 4850 but the game runs fast and smooth for me. but then again back
when I first ran that game I had a pny 7900gs nvidia graphics card(and all
was well) I was running a Intel core2 duo 1.86 with 4gigs of ddr2 667. Now I
have a core2 quad 6600 and 4gigs ddr800. If there is a any weakness in your
system I would have to say video card but doubt it.. Not much help I know
but just throwing it out there
