Red Alert 2 Performance Question
I've been playing red alert 2: yuri's revenge with my roomates(one instance) and then again with my brother at home(2nd instance). I'm wondering what the limiting factor is while playing this game, because when there are a lot of units it gets pretty laggy both at my apartment and home. I'd assume it's the video card, but I didn't know how much the processor or ram contributes. Sometimes it also seems like it takes longer on my computer to actually load the game then on others, even though mine is faster. I've listed the approximate setups below, if anyone can fill me in i'd appreciate it.

barton 2500
1 gig ram
ati 9800 pro
(roomate 1)
pentium 4 1.8ghz
512 ram
geforce 4 32mb(i think)
(roomate 2)
celeron 2 ghz
512 ram
intel onboard video
(my brother - laptop)
athlon 64 3200
768 ram
geforce 4 m440

Make sure you're using the latest patches of course. I love Yuri's, one of my favourite games

cyrix: what is the best way to speed up game play when there are a lot of units, that's kind of my main question? which component(s) are holding us back the most?
