No problem. I will just have to get the new game when it is out and see how it runs. If it does not run well I will shelve it until I get around to updating my system. Thanks all for your input.

My games are all CPU limited. due to the fact that 50% of the processing is AI based. And even then, the fact that they even run (with such a large game world) is nothing short of technology magic on my part. I don't dispute anything that you say. It is frustrating none the less. Maybe my question should be "Is anyone running the game with a Celeron and not having stuttering problems?" Oh well no worries it is really not that big of a deal. The demo of the new game coming out seems to run a lot smoother for me. I will just wait for that to come out. "Why would a video card to AI processing? (I don't even think it's possible)" Wow I don't recall saying or even implying that. Thanks for your help though.

I have the same problem with choppiness. The planetary instant action scenarios are pretty much unplayable for me. I have tried all different options within the game and none make any difference. I have defragged my harddrive. I am using the latest patch. I just cannot figure it out. I have had the same problem from the unpatched version through the latest patch with no real difference. Any suggestions?

That is very funny. I love it. But according to georgecarlin.com he did not write it. Who Knows.

If you press 9 and NEVER touch the W key, the craft should ramp up to its max speed and *stay* there. If you do what you said there, but press W... it shouldn't go any faster at all because its already at its maximum speed from hitting 9, correct? If thats the case: What we're saying is that it DOES in fact pick up speed with 9... just not its maximum speed. I don't know but this makes perfect sense to me. If the ship is going at its max speed (without afterburners) then when you hit the afterburn W key it should go somewhat faster. For example if I am driving a car, lets say a 1972 Plymouth Satellite, and I have the gas peddle floored and the car reaches its max speed(without any type of boost) on a level road at say 120 mph. Lets also say that I happen to have a nitrous oxide setup on the car and I hit the nitro button. Wouldn't the car increase in speed somewhat? It might only increase a few mph but it should increase from the nitrous (afterburner right)right? Anyway the way it is set up now makes sense to me. But then I don't always make sense.
