My animal footstep noise slowdown is all fixed, but I still do get slowdowns during fight scenes and heavy forest scenes also cause it.
I wish my XP cd still worked - I'm starting to wonder whether 2000 isn't making full use of the modern hardware.
I also read a thorough comparison of Oblivion performance between 256MB and 512MB gfx cards and the upshot was that it shouldn't be making a difference as severe as this and performance would only increase in ultra complex areas at high res. I'm only running at 1280x1024 which (relatively speaking anyway!) isn't that high.

Win2000 should not cause problems on its own, but unfortunantly it is limited by what it can do, not only that, but the drivers/apps designed for it are different from the Winxp ones.
And you are correct about the video cards, having more on board ram wont make the game run smoother, but will allow for more to be loaded at a time and can allow you to put bigger textures in there with no performance hit [img]smile.gif[/img]
But yeah, if you have a high end card and your only running 1280x1024, you should not have a problem installing the
texture packs
