I got WinSpmbt yesterday and started to play it. Now it freezes up when playing a save. So, I have scoped the problem, my onboard video card only carries 16meg of ram, shared from the 128 meg system ram. It's a PcChips M810 system board. Can anyone suggest a solution, add more system ram? Or better, a good cheap video card compatible with the M810. It's blerrie frustrating to have this game, and not to be able to play it.

System specs
Duron 1300
128 MB system ram (112 available)
16 MB SiS 630/730
Win98 SE

Dankie,

Start with a real video card with 32+MB of on board video RAM. Your shared card is eating real RAM, and the shared RAM used for video is not fast, compared to on-card video RAM.

then try adding memory - windows does better the more RAM you add anyway.

You may want to try increasing the windows swap file size, but real RAM is miles better. (You will want to change it if you put more RAM in anyway, and when you do you will want to defrag the drive to ensure the new swap file is one continuous unfragmented file)
