Hi all!
I've been trying to improve the performance of w&w on my pc for a very long time, but the best I managed to achieve is a mediocre performance in the 640x480 hardware resolution. My PC:

-PentiumIII 700Mhz
-256 mb RAM
-about 1,5 GB free HD space
-Hercules Prophet II GTS 32 MB

I am using a very old driver (I think it's one from mid 2000...) because it is BY FAR the best I could find. I spent many hours installing every single driver I managed to find, but it always ended up with a horrible slow performance in every resolution. (This bad performance does also apply to the stronghold demo, with the old driver it runs pretty well, with the newer ones it's a pain...)I even tried the new unofficial patch which did't help either...
I'd appreciate any kind of help because I'm pretty desperate and just don't know what else I could do.

Thanks in advance!
