    Details to low does not remove smoke from chimneys at all actually. Maybe lessens the amount. To really remove em, you gotta do what I outlined :D

    Really?

    Interesting - I haven't seen any since I changed that setting; guess I've just been playing the wrong size sieges

    My computer is about the same spec as yours running a 128MB video card (Geoforce 7300), same processor, 2 meg RAM and its fine - I had exactly this lag problem before I upgraded the video card to what I have now, so maybe you need to increase the RAM? I have most of the graphic features on and it runs smoothly.

    Runs smoothly on all settlements/castle types? Geforce7300 and the Geforce6600GT do not have a substantial performance difference. I even think that the 6600 beats the 7300, although im not sure.

    About the RAM, does anyone share Matty's opinion?

    Laggy big settlement type is game problem, do not think hardware exists to eliminate.
    M2TW never used all my system memory (check Task Manager), I have 7950 also and much fast Core2duo.
    Other type battles nice frame rate with many options and high resolution.

    I have more or less the same specs that you have, and suffered severe lag in siege battles, even on low settings. Then i exchanged my very old Ti4200 videocard with a new X1300(can't remember specs, but it's a decent card at an affordable price), and every battle is running smoothly

    Pay attention to the shadows quality and antialising either. When I'm in a massive battle I used to set down the units details, that really increases my perfomance besides shadow and antialiasing, however you cannot set down shadow in the game, only in main options.

    I have another suggestion for you. This tweak replaces the city textures with low res (512*512) ones and it's really helped remove the lag for me:
