When I bought this game I got cought up in it for a week.  People are complaining that it didn't run good on there system.  Thats because they have a PII processor.  PCGAMER magazine said that if you have anything worse than PIII 450 128mb ram than it won't work good.  That is true it  works grat on a PIII but the game is not optimxed for PII.  I have a PIII  600 128megs of ram and the best graphics board and I installed the 300mb  Compact install and it worked fine.
