A 2.6 gig hard drive? Looks like someone needs an upgrade... Taking into account that that was most likely a typo, and you meant 2.6 ghz processor, the problem may be that your using an nvidia graphics card when the game is made to run on an ATI Radeon. Also, you may have set the game onto full settings (which lags my computer at times, which is a 3.0ghz, Radeio 9800 Pro).
I made my puter about a year ago.. It has an AMD Athlon motherboard 2100+ which is really a 1.7 ghz - 512 mb ram (old ram) - 64mb geforce 4 mmx - 40 gig hard drive.. and on full settings whether watching the park and rides or in coaster cam, it does'nt lag at all.. I think there's a lot going for making your own comp..
Apart from apps for my music and art progs - UT2003, Blitzkrieg, all the Sims, Sudden Strike 2, Both Cossacks 1 & 2, Total war (medieval), War of the Ring, NoLimits and a bunch of other stuff..
