>You can't patch a game this elaborate with hopes of improving performance on a slow machine. Your processor is only 100mHz above the minimum system requirements. And as you have probably gathered from past experience, (at least I hope you have the ability to learn) software of any type or configuration rarely if ever performs well on a minimum system box. I have a GForce 3 with DDR, 200Gb Striped Raid and a 1.8GHz P4 and THIS GAME ROCKS. I also have an Audigy card which sounds awsome!!! Anyway, put the game on the shelf until you can afford an upgraded processor and mainboard. It will make a difference in how the game plays.

Good luck.

I gather that by THIS WEEK they meant Saturday 11.59pm
