But then you're living a lie and for the rest of your life will be held by the fact that you never became one with the ponies.

Are your video drivers up to date?

[quote] I don't have any problems with COD4, Crysis, Battlefied 2 / BF2142, QuakeWars or Bioshock. Those are the only games I have installed on Vista64 at the moment and they all work like a champ. [/quote] Well right now for me Sins is 10x more stable than Call of Duty 4, I'm just saying don't jump to assumptions based off a single case sample.

Trust me, it isn't just SOASE, I'm having the exact same issue with other games such as CoD4.

I'd recommend waiting until Ironclad releases the demo and see if it runs if upgrading isn't an option, and I'm more concerned about your video card than your processor.

Minimum specs are 1.8 ghz processor, 512 RAM (1 gig if Vista) and Radeon 9600 or better

[quote] With my 4x AGP slot what video cards could i buy? DO 8x cards work or does it have to be just 4x compatible- thanks for the help [/quote] It has to be 4x I believe. (Hard to remember that far back ;) )

It's $40 everywhere I believe, I got it from Target for $40 as well.

Nothing too horrible, just I've noticed that in single play the AI will continue to put bounties on empires that have already been defeated.

True you can earn money back, but the AI is still forcing you to fulfill commitments in order to earn standings between your two empires, it'd be nice to make them undertake tasks to improve standings with you.

I personally have never seen that happen, I may just be lucky.. but rarely do I see the AI even start to turn to run before my fleet has finished completely jumping and deploying strike craft.

Actually I experience identical issues not only in Sins of a Solar Empire, but also in Crysis and Call of Duty 4 on my 8600 gt on XP SP2 with the 169.21 drivers.

I'm running an 8600 GT on XP with 169.21 drivers and as of 15 minutes ago am experiencing the same driver crash, today was the first time with Sins of a Solar Empire, but it has also been occuring with Call of Duty 4.
