The 6100 is an onboard graphics solution! I'm guessing, and that's all it is, that your onboard graphics is using 128MB of your system RAM. That only leaves you 384MB for running everything else, and of that Windows XP will quite easily eat up 200MB.

You could try turning the graphics settings down to minimum and if it runs Ok then, increase them incrementaly until you find a sweet spot.

well first of all thx for replying. now when u said to turn my graphics down, do u mean in the game or in the control panel -> display -> setting -> advanced -> geforce -> performance and quality settings -> image settings?

Try turning them down in game first.

Also, what resolution are you running at? If you're at a high resolution try running GW at a lower one before anything else.

i just fixed it actually. it was either cause i did not download the latest driver (cause i just got a new comp 2days ago) or it was the control panel thing, not sure which. my graphic settings in game was low and everything was fine, then i tried high graphics and it is still fine. thx for your advice and taking the time anyway Azagoth. I appreciate it.
