Hi Omanes!

The Aero interface actually turns itself off when playing games to save resources.
Vista uses memory a lot different from XP, applications you use often gets buffered in the RAM but released when starting memory intensive apps... like games. But I still get the feeling I should be able to run this on XP with higher settings and with only 1GB ram, which I had at that time anyway, playing games like FEAR maxed out.

RAM really isn't the issue here, because Medieval II never uses all of it. I believe it's either the CPU or the GFX driver.

Waiting eagerly for someone on a similar system on XP. :-D
