I had the same slow performance problems when I installed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> on my older P-3 600 system that has 256Meg of ram, a GeForce 3 with 64M ram, sblive gamer, windows 98se. The only way I was able to imporve the fps was to reduce the screen resolution down to 480x600 or 640x800, not as nice looking or as large a landscape <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

From my own experimenting with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> on different equipment, the faster the cpu (and more ram too) the better the game performs, BUT there is a <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" /> trade off. With the patch ver 1.34, the stinker crash's frequently <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />
