The 360 can though! /runs

Seriously, this must be like that problem we had ages ago with Halo on PC. FSAA never worked on that either because some of it's effects took up some buffer which is used for FSAA. Bummer:/

Edit: or just what sweetload said

Duel, sounds like your machine has issues. Give us some symptons! Long boot-up?

The only symptoms it has are that sometimes at boot-up the fan makes a sounds like something is wrong with it. Also, on the odd occasion I will need to press the reset button after powering on for it to boot up. Once in Windows there are no errors as far as I know.

I don't think my computer is erroneous though. Who has similar specs and can run these games at max.? I don't think even the 7800GTX (256MB) can handle AOEIII at max settings and 1280X1024 res.

Keep the bottle handy though, not sure if it's 100% accurate

Yep, from a developer on the official forums:

On PC, HDR and AA are not supported simultaneously at all, on any video chipset, because of the way we do HDR.

If you absolutely need antialiasing (and the HDR effect looks great without it, frankly), you can switch to the bloom effect.
