If all other games are running OK I would suspsect that since you have an older GPU you may need to find a driver that works well for that card on that game.

Other than that it could be a number of things. Have you checked to see if it's utilizing all cores of your CPU? Do you have any temp problems or artifacts?

Why does my pc crashes after 3 to 5 minutes? My specs. are: Q6600 2.4GHZ., 9600 gt (301.42 driver), 2gig ram. Iput the settings on lowest and still the game crashes and my computer turns off. I'd appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

Thanks guys for your input. It looks like the 22" is the ideal size. I'll go for it together with my video card upgrade, probably a GTX 275. Currently, I'm using 9600GT which I think won't run demanding games smoothly using a 22" monitor.

I've been using my 19"lcd widescreen@ 1440x900 for about 5 years now. I'm planning for an upgradebut I'm not sure which one to get. Thanks in advance.

but what would u find more realistic? GodlessSinner

It depends. At night I prefer using my surround headphones. But on daytime I indulge with my 5.1 speakers.

Thanks for your replies guys. I feel it's my DVD rom drive. The read speed maybe. Or maybe there was something wrong with the DVD rom drive installation. I had it installed in the shop where I bought it and the guy who installed looked suspicious. But I'm not sure though.

your specs is fine. perhaps getting more rams.

i dont know why it took you so long. it took me like half an hour on mine.

maybe its your hdd

The installation has just finished. I'm using Windows XP, I have 2gig ram, Intel Q6600, Nvidia 9600GT. Looks strange isn't it? It took so long to install it.
