Weird. I've had some FPS issues on my 900 mhz AMD Athlon with some cruddy graphics card I know nothing about, but I get 60+ in normal gameplay in 1024x768, 16 bit colors, windowed. If you're playing in windowed, you'll get higher FPS in fullscreen, but still with that computer, you should be having no problems. Yeah Paine is wrong. This is something I've been wondering about for awhile, so I looked it up on Wikipedia, go down to the last paragraph on "Frame rates in video gaming." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frames_per_second
