It runs great, whats wrong with it exactly? AS long as you don't use a AMD with fixing powerplay problems( 
) it runs fine. Using an X2 but review thread i posted in gfx card section, think it doesn't use sli/crossfire yet. Review shows drop in framerate on both the GX2 and X2 due to driver overhead i assume. Was in german, or something or other, i forget , not sure what build they used.
Checked out the leaked one at a friends, it ran like crap on one install, reinstalled it, ran fine. Not a clue as to why, maybe a driver had changed inbetween. But it was jerky and slow with quite a lot of pausing, like sometimes once every few mins to once every 30 seconds just pausing for 5 seconds, was awful. Then after reinstall, not a single stutter, not a single pause. I've never once seen the same game install on the same system twice with essentially no change and see completely different performance. Something very weird to say the least. But final version you would assume won't have that issue.
EDIT:- thats it, one thing every time you picked up one of the flags and it made fancy lighting/particle effects all over the screen it would get horrifically slow every time until the effect was done. 2nd install, that never happened once.
Thinking again about that, i tried to track down the issue, appeared to be powerplay but more importantly, stupendously low cpu usage.
Saying that I'm playing Overlord through again at the moment and its doing the same damn thing. Quite frequent massive slowdown for no apparent reason. Its not powerplay, not idea what it is, walk through an area, get slowdown, walk through again, no problem -- cpu usage seems to drop a lot. All on vista, mates system is Phenom, this is a Q6600, both 4gb's mem, raid 0 hdd's. All the gaming patches for vista , all patches except SP1 on both systems. Very weird.

Don't be silly, Jade isn't real, she's a figment of our imaginations.
A really, really beautiful figment...
marry me Jade
