I'm running dual monitors on an AMD Athlon 2.4 GHZ 4600 + dual core, Win 7 x64 with 4GB RAM, and a Geforce 8600 GT 512 MB video card, but I can only run with minimum display settings without lag. I can bump the settings all the way up, and the game loads, but if I try to run a mission things just slow way down. Does this sound like a video problem to you techies out there?
