In response to Avon Lady: My Sound Card is an ESS 1969 PCI Audiodrive. Just an old card that I yanked out of an old computer sitting on the floor. I installed it a while back and disabled my original integrated card to help solve some problems I was having with another game.
In response to others - I don't have any unnecessary processes running. My system tray is empty. No antivirus, no firewall, not a single background app running. I'm just guessing it's time for a new video card. Surely 1.5 GB of memory is not the weakest link in my system, it's got to be my video card, right? That's the normal conclusion I would come to, but the fact that my page file was over a gig and I had only 300 MB or so of RAM left when the game is running means that over a gig of memory is going to SH3, and I've never even heard of a game using even close to that amount of memory. That's a bit confusing to me, so I was hoping to see if anyone else has run the task manager while SH3 was running to see approximately how much memory it takes up on their machines.
