1.5gb ram
110 gb hard drive
e-processor such and such cant remember but it was one of those really old ones,,, probably made out of wood that could only mange word doc's

on my old pc ,,in rome total war the unit limit was about 6400 on the field the came the very bad lag


NEW ASS PC (built 2 weeks ago) (cost 900 to build)
his 3870x2 (1gb)
4g.b ram
750gb hard drive

It's not your pc. The game is made for single core cpu. The game's 3d graphics engine because of it uses a lot more power than Oblivion, or Crysis and will eat any pc. The skins done in many of the mods will slow you down more for the same reason.
