Help! PC speed problem when playing Red Alert 2

Probably your system. Your scraping the bottom of the barrel on minimum system requirements. I used a P3 600 with 128 megs ram and there where times when it got a little slow. I think the smallest proc. you can use a 266 and 64 megs of ram. When I look at buying a game I usually look at the recommended requir. as my minimum. I seem to be happier with the results of a game if I meet those requirements.

You might try closing some of the icons you see on your task bar. They eat ram. Might want to snag a copy of MemTurbo. <A HREF="http://www.memturbo.com/" target="_new">http://www.memturbo.com/</A> Scrubs and recovers ram. It will usually free up ram even after a fresh reboot.

Ra2 is fairly cpu intensive. About the only thing that will net you a speed boost is switching to WinNT. You can drop your res. down too, or convert to Win98; the latter won't be all that noticable.
