EB runs fast then slow continuously

Just be happy it runs fast sometimes.

Sounds like a RAM issue, I know when I had only 512MB I had to restart RTW:EB at least every 2 hours and run RAMBooster to rehash my memory and then load it up again. It appears that with the 1.5GB now I can run it a solid day (almost made it there in some cases) without having to restart it. I'm also using a P4 2.8GHz prescott... processor doesn't mean much when you don't have anywhere to store anything :)

You could either beef up your computer's RAM, or increase virtual memory size. Go to System Properties via the Control Panel, select the Advanced tab, and double or triple the amount of disk space allocated to virtual memory.

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt if you made sure your computer runs as lightly as possible. The way things are nowadays, every time you boot up there is a lot of stuff that loads automatically. Once you get rid of that, you can expect up to a 100% improvement in computer performance.

Sorry if I'm just repeating what someone might have already said earlier - I'm in a bit of a hurry and don't have the time to check.
