I run win xp, geforce 4 128mb vid card on a 2.4ghz p4
with 512mb and started experiencing serious lag with
the patch, I went and upgraded to 1gb and now only
experience rare lag in pok and of course the bazarr.
Saving for a vid card with 256mb on it to see if that
helps to any great degree as well.
