You mess with any virtual memory settings? You tweak anything? you have a HD with 2MB cache? they have any patches for the game? you do a BIOS update? are you lagging online or singleplayer?

I don't think the GF4 MX 420 64mb.Video is very good for gaming.Get the Ati 9600 pro 128mb, less than $200.

break out some bucks and get this from Newegg.com $189, free shipping. ATI RADEON 9600XT Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP -RETAIL, Core Speed: RADEON 9600XT/500MHz. Memory/Effective Speed: 128MB DDR/600MHz hard to beat for the money.

I'm having no problems- in fact I just finsihed all levels about 2 days ago!

I'm running a standard HP pavilion 713a with the following specs-
PIV, 2.0GHz, 768mb RAM and a standard Intel Extreme Graphics 64mb viedo card....

It sounds to me like another issue with your machine, not the specs....
