I've not had a single problem running SH5. and my machine is underspec'd too.
My specs :-
Windows XP pro. 32bit
Athlon64 3500+ (single core CPU). <----- This is under spec'd. Game's min spec is Core2Duo or Athlon64 X2.
Radeon HD4870 1gb pci-e2 ( but my mobo is pci-e1. so would run even better if i updated my mobo).
RAM 4gb...... but only 3gb is used due to me running 32bit OS.
All settings on max. with 4x AA
i got 50 - 60 fps
in command room 40 - 50 fps
with 10 ships attacking me 20 - 30 fps
Only problems is explsions are sometimes slow due to my single core cpu.
And yes i know i need to upgrade my computer. just trying to stretch as much life out of this hardware as i can. New CPU, mobo and ram soon. well as soon as i can talk my wife round. She's not too keen on me spending $2000 on my hobby.
So as you can see, its not your Operating System causing your problems.
