SH4 with these specs--advise please.

I am using an overclocked system of about the same generation:

Mobile XP 2500+ @~3200 level
1GB DDR400 RAM
GeForce 6800 @~GT level (all vertex/pixel units unlocked)

Performance is very bad, even on a clean installation that runs pretty heavy sims w/o problems (Stalker, OFF, LOMAC ..). A very annoying thing is a very bad response to input, i.e. it takes up to several seconds if I switch stations.

My problems might be due to a number of reasons, maybe it is because of a partially defective pixel unit, the usage of SP1, or the fact that I use an external DVD drive. But the most likely cause is SHIV itself. Time will tell, but so far this game is really a dissapointment for me. I must also state that the graphics not only run slower, but look less sharp and believable in comparison to SHIII.
