Running Coh/CoV on Vista 64-bit

I have heard several times its not compatible with my OS, but I know it does run (not smoothly). I'd like to know if any other Vista 64-bit user has found any ways to increase performance aside from keeping all graphics at a minimum.
I have an HP Pavilion Laptop/ Windows Vista 64-bit version/ ATI HD 3200 graphics card/ AMD Turion X2

The issue for you is the graphics card. Laptops generally dont have powerful graphics cards unless you specifically buy a gaming laptop. If your card had be say a ATI HD 3600 or higher it would run a bit better. For vide cards the 2nd number in the series determines how good it will be. Like x6xx to x9xx. Anything below a 6 in the 2nd number wont run as good. The only other suggestion I can give you is to make sure you have alot of ram. Which you should if you are running 64-bit windows.

I agree with EvilRyu, the prob is your graphics card. I run the game on Vista64 with no probs, but I'm running a fairly high end desktop system with dual vid cards. I can triple-box (run 3 instances of the game) with graphics cranked to the max with no problems.

By the way for anyone else curious about this, the only "trick" I do is use the command /maxinactivefps 3. This means that whatever instances of the game aren't in front only try to draw 3 frames per second. Works beautifully.
