Sounds like a familiar problem I had 2 years ago LOL\n\nI played CoC Generals on a laptop Pentium 3, 128 Mb RAM and instead of waiting 5 minutes to launch a nuclear weapon, it took bloody 20 minutes. Each soldier takes ages to move a inch on the screen.\n\nBut hell, I played it anyway, for 1 month or so.\n\nNow I have the best config. PC around, so I cannot complain hehehe. Either go get a new PC, or upgrade your RAM and video card.

A new card with more ram will work better but Im thinkin your old card is probably giving you the best graphics the game will allow anyway. I am thinking that you are trying to speed an internet game up. If you are playing online change your screen res to a lower mode and turn down some of the options in video mode...lower detail etc. If you use dialup networking dont expect much...

1: Increase Memory: Depending on your motherboard, you can probably add a lot more ram memory. Doing this can help a great deal.\n2: Better Video Card: If your main concern is playing games, install a better video card. ATI Radeons and nVidia cards are generally accepted as the best. Make sure to find out if you have an AGP or just a PCI slot for the card.\n3: Streamline your PC: Get rid of things that startup which you do not need. Also, a new hard disk with fast (7200) rpms, can speed things up, especially if you are low on disk space now.\n\nDoing all this will still cost less than buying a new motherboard and cpu. Overclocking is really not necessary.. However, you can only get so far without replacing your motherboard and cpu.\n\nNote: Do not close all the processes which you don't think you need through cntrl-alt-del menu. Many of those actually speed up your computer, since they run drivers for video and what not. Removing programs from the systemtrey and others that start up, such as spyware is still a good idea.

Several Ways....\n\nInexpensive ways:\n\n1. Defragment your hard disc.\n2. If using windows, then run a windows registry cleaner.\n3. If using windows, then do not load unnecessary applications automatically when computer starts \n\nExpensive ways:\n\n1. Increase RAM (memory)\n2. Increase Hard Disc capacity (if it is running too low)\n3. Get a faster Processor (CPU)\n4. If you use graphics intensive applications, then get a graphics accelerator.

The above poster is wrong, just having a fast internet connection will not just magically make it work.  Your CPU is very slow and your graphics card is dated and you don't have much RAM.  It won't be very enjoyable at all.  You COULD play it with your processor if you made up for it by getting a new video card and double your RAM.  Then it should at least be playable enough for you to enjoy it.  Otherwise no it won't run well at all.  I had a 1.8 Ghz with a 64 meg video card and 512 RAM and it ran like crap until I got a new video card and more RAM so I don't see how it would run well at all with 1000 less MHz.  Keep in mind the minimum requirments are not the RECOMMENDED requirments, you want to SURPASS the minimum if you want to be able to do anything.

if you have to have a CD rom installed to play these game, it is probly your CD rom spinning a high rate of speed.  I have a 52X cd-rom and it kinda makes a bussing sound when I am using it.\n\nthere is really nothing you can do for this unless it is just not tightened down all the way.
