    Your desktop has only 1 Gb of RAM; your laptop has 2. Now the thing is, if your first GFX card is based around Hypermemory, or Shared memory or some such thing; and the latter is based on actual onboard memory (dedicated; located on the card itself) yet the total of the first exceeds that of the second... Then it might just be that RTW does not know how to interpret the different types of memory in conjunction witht the amount of RAM on the machine. (It may think the bulky hypermemory allows for lot's of men on the field; *but* hypermory relies on actual RAM of the machine to deliver the performance.)

    See, that's the thing. Both cards are dedicated. my Gfx 5500 has 256 mb dedicated while my geforce 8400 gs on my laptop has 128 mb dedicated + 768 mb that it can take from the laptop-RAM. Neither uses shared memory persay.

    As for hyper memory, the gfx 5500 is an old card, I don't think it has hyper memory.

    yeh...so it's kinda weird
