    It's the RAM. Definately. I've the same problem, so I'm getting a second RAM stick this Christmas.

    no it isnt a RAM problem. i have plenty of fast RAM. it seems to be bad on some PC's, and yet good on others. as far as i know, its an unresolved issue that CA need to address.

    no i am not talking about custom battle replays

    i am talkign about the intro movie, the wonders, or destroyed factions.

    all the movies in the game basically.

    and no it is most unprobable that it is caused by lack of ram.

    and as mentioned above... it works perfectly fine on some pcs and horribly on others.

    anybody know how to resolve this?

    I find something strange:
    When I play the game the intro movie lags like hell but if I enter the fmv folder and open the media file from there it doesnt lagg at all...
    any clues?

    Yes, it's because your comp is trying to play the movie using [inser your default .fmv player here] and Rome:Total War at the same time. I figured RAM was the problem, unless I'm terribly mistaken, which, many seem to think I am.
