Oy.
First MAF turn 80. Got worse form there until 250, happening every 5 turns or so. Always during saves this time.
Map was small, as compared to the usual standard I play.
I don't think it's graphics.
after about 5 different solutions, this one worked!
Windows XP
(click to show/hide)
* Menu Start -> Run, type sysdm.cpl and press ENTER
* a window should open, go to tab Advanced -> Startup and Recovery Settings -> Edit
* at this point you're editing your boot.ini file. Don't mess things up.
Look for the line with your operating system mentioned and add "/3GB /USERVA=2990" without quotes. Should look like this:
Quote
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /3GB /USERVA=2990
just add only the "/3GB /USER...", don't erase or add anything else
* save changes and reboot
