Well I'm having some performance issues with this game, and it's kind of strange that this is the odd ball of the bunch. I searched google and various forum for some tweak to improve the frame rate, but nothing really helped. I started playing the game with default setting , which were set to high all around (bump mapping, detailed models, etc.). I tried to lower those setting while maintaining the same resolution (1024x768) and the frame rate you just state in the same range 10-20. Only when I lowered it to 640x480 things speeded up a bit to 30-40 frames. Half Life 2 runs fine, Vampires the masquerade runs fine with high settings, Portal glitches up for some reason, Panzers runs 30 fps stable. AMD pretty much said "fuck you' since you can't eve find the drivers for the bloody card, and here are the spec by he way:

T-1620 Notebook Specifications

AMD Turionâ„¢ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56

It could be Vista, it probably the drivers, but the most fucked thing is that when I installed Xp I couldn't find drivers for anything (network card, graphic card, or sound card).
