Computer Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 4400+
2.21 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
NvidiaGeForce 8500 GT

I meet the minimum specs to run the game, but I seem to still have a slowdown problem with it. No matter how low I set my resolution (lowest widescreen), setting details and Anti-Aliasing the game will still slow down to a crawl.

Sometimes the game will slow down terribly just by starting it, in which I will have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE the game.

Most times I can start the game with no problems, load a level, and move units around for a few seconds before the game has a heart attack and slows down.

What are the reasons for this? I can run recent games like Left 4 Dead without slowdown problems, so why does this game give me such trouble?

Just to ask, do you have patch 3? It included a performance enhancement as well as multi-core support.

well usually meeting the minimum required specs and not much above means it's barely playable if at all, even if you just meet the recommend games usually lag badly. If it is related to that i blame the 8500GT as it isn't really a graphics card for modern games.
