[Ruds]

I don't know if I'm the only one with a great system, well above minimum requirements, and even exceeding system recommendations, that's having horrible choppiness, slowdowns, sound loops, 5-6 minute load times (absolutely zero exagguration), etc.

After about 45 minutes of playing, it's gotten so laggy that I have to restart my computer. I also tried bumping up my virtual memory since I'd seem that others had some luck with that from some other forums. It didn't work at all. I also tried defragging both of my hard drives - again to no avail.

Any ideas?? I'm running on the LOWEST video/visual settings possible!

Specs:
Pentium 4, 2.6ghz with hyperthreading
512 RAM
nvidia geforce 4, 64 meg and the latest drivers
