Does RAM really help with battle performance? I'm having a bugger of a time with my 512 on my PC on the big battles with mages (you know, the ones I actually want to watch).
The only time my system gets awfully slow during battle replay (apart from thousands of units on the map) is when it's winter and there's snow on the map. There doesn't even need to be any snow fall, just white ground, and it's unreasonably slow.
Hm, RAM probably has an effect, since I have similar setup but with only 1 gig of RAM and now that I upgraded to Leopard battle replay on "fast" isn't too fast. Dominions seems a bit faster, though. Or then it's just my imagination.
