    Default system requirements help.

    what is the recommended system to play EB on?

    I got 3.0 ghz P4, 2 gigs of ram, 7600gt. playing on 1000 res in 16 bit color like the faq stated. got everything on low except unit detail which is set to high. I get random slow downs :( either scrolling the campaign map or during battle. by random I mean, it comes and goes at will, some play sessions would be 100% free of it. it is confusing.

    what could be the cause? I play m2tw fine along with the mods that are release, the setting for the game is even higher then the above. I know my comp is old, like 3.5 years old now. it plays all my games decently besides crysis, yea, I thought too highly of my comp when I bought that game.

    any help would be nice, I did a search of the forum and scanned the faq, didn't see any system requirement question or threads.

    recommended:
    1 gb or RAM
    a 128 mb video card, but it really doesnt matter.

    your system is fine, trust me....

    so, those random slow downs are normal? anyway I can get rid of it? I don't mind the campaign map slow downs, since I can just wait a bit then it goes away. but when it happens during a battle, it is a pain in the ass and annoying.

    You happen to have, by any chance, some updating services running? Scheduled tasks, any?

    Apart from the garbage collect, which is inavoidable the slow downs are most likely either some software running in the background (can be as simple as Messenger) suddenly waking up or system measures against overheating/overflowing workload.

    the only program I have on, it is always on, when I play other games etc, it is always on. is AVG free edition. the only non bloat ware that I trust these days. I don't have any other background programs on during gaming sessions, not even messengers. it doesn't cause any problems for me so far with other games/mods? could it be that simple?

    Try turning AVG off to see if that helps. It doesn't hurt to try.

    And have you defragmented lately?
