If you are using a core 2 duo can please drop a quick reply if you are having "slow" or stuttering problems?
No mater the resolution or graphics setting the game and movies stutter horribly its like watching a slide show. Wonderng if the c2d (I have the E6750 2.66) is the common factor in this problem. I have installed and played wonderfully on a 2.16 Ghz laptop with no problems. I upgraded from an 8800 GTS to a ATI HD 5770 and still the same issues.
Core 2 Duo problems?

you should try setting core affinity for the game process to core 02

Core 2 Duo, no problems (at least, not those
)

I have a Core 2 Duo like you, same model E6750. My GPU is an ATI Radeon HD 4890 and I have the same problems as you. Terrible framerate during the movies, menus and the game itself. I did many tests but nothing helped.
Link to my thread : http://social.biowar...58/index/135228
Edit : to Jiron : there's no such thing as Core 02 (at least on Windows XP). It's either CPU 0 or CPU 1. I tried both and there's no difference...

I'll copy/paste it from my other thread (which is lost now)
My PC :
Intel Dual Core E6750
Ati Radeon HD 4890 (1 Go)
Ram : 2 Go
OS : WinXP SP3 32 bit
The game runs but terribly slow (like 5 fps) during cutscenes, menus and game (= everything). The CPU is not at 100% (about 50-60% on each core), the memory is not at 100% (about 1,3 Go), and my GPU is not overheating (53°c)
I've tried several versions of Catalyst drivers : 9.4, 9.6, 9.7, 9.10, no difference.
I've tried setting my hardware audio acceleration to basic/full, no difference.
I've tried playing full screen 1280x1024 and windowed 1024/768, no difference.
I've tried disabling all sounds, checking and unchecking v-synch or frame buffer, no difference.
I've installed the patch, no difference.
I've tried putting all setting to really low/off and it gets a little better (8 fps instead of 5).
Shadows disabled in .ini file, no difference
Tried to set the priority of the process to Real-Time or High, no difference.
I think that with my comptuer it should not run so slowly, there's obviously a problem.
Any idea to solve this ?
Maybe I should add that I have several games installed on my computer, including Far Cry 2, World of Warcraft and Mass Effect and I don't have any framerate problems with these. If it's a hardware problem, it doesn't seem to affect anything else except for Dragon Age.

The thing I found out on my setup is that win7 x64 causes the micro-stutter and ingame lag. I have no problems whatsoever on my windows xp x86. I tried moving the SATA cables to ICH9 on-board intel controller, switching the memory to single-channel... nothing helped. Setting the affinity to one core just reduces the lag and lowers the framerate 
my setup:
gigabyte ga-ep35-ds3 (rev 2.1)
Core 2 Duo E8400 (no overclocking)
4GB OCZ 1066MHz (dual-channel)
Gainward GF 9800 GT Golden Sample (1024MB Vram)
However it IS kind of annoying to switch to a system i dont use much from my set-up win7

e6750. No problems for 20+ hours, just had my first crash.
W7x64, 4870(1gb), 8gb ram,
the only stuttering I get is in conversations when it has to load from disk (wish I could have afforded that ssd)

Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz, GeForce 9800GT 1GB VRAM, XP Pro 32bit and 4GB DDR2 RAM and so far no issues, no stuttering only the game sometimes crashes, but I have saves for this
My guess is there are some wrong drivers somewhere if you have such issues.

Hmm, I see people with problems are using ATIs. Maybe try older drivers for those 48xx models.

As I said, I tried alot of drivers (9.4, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9 and 9.10) with no results. I guess it's not a graphic driver problem.

Did you remove all files on those drivers when you installed another version of your catalyst driver?

I have Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 2.50GHz, 2.00 GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1.00 GB with WinXP SP3 and I'm running the game at 1680x1050, Graphics Detail: Very High, Anti-Aliasing: 8x and Texture Detail: High. The game is very playable (excluding actual game bugs).

Same problem here.
Core 2 Duo 8200
4 Gb ram
8800GT
Win 7 64bit
Sometimes the game stutters almost not at all(once every 5-10 seconds or so) and sometimes it stutters like hell, on the exact same map. When it stutters with longer intervals it's almost like clockwork, 5 seconds, stutter, 5 seconds, stutter. Very strange.

C2D E6600 @ 3.2Ghz
GTX 260 Core 216
4GB OCZ Reapers 4-4-4-15
Win 7 x64
No problems here.
For those having issues, what I suggest is being patient and trying to isolate whether it's hardware or software related first.
Download and run some of these utilities:
1) Furmark (for video card stressing/benchmark)
2) 3DMark 2006 (to test and see if it runs fine or with hiccups)
3) Prime95 or Orthos(for dual-core users). Stress test CPU and RAM for a couple hours.
4) Memtest 86+ (can run it overnight)
If your computer is passing all of these stress tests, then we can eliminate hardware/overheating as a cause and try to solve a software issue.
If you want to try and isolate a software issue, best treatment would be to format and doa clean install of your O/S followed by the latest direvers, directx, etc. for your system. This is something advanced users will want to do, but not for those who aren't familiar. This is a skill most gamers need to learn to pickup.
If you are still having problems with good hardware and after a clean O/S install and the proper installion of latest drivers and the game, then there is something else at work. Either a driver conflict with the game, or a specific hardware conflict that is obviously out of your control at this point.

"i have intel pentium 4 550, dual core, 4 gig of ram, running vista X32, 1g gpu. Barely playable. "
Pentiums are rubbish, would be the reason. Core 2 is far, far better.
"I have Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 2.50GHz, 2.00 GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1.00 GB with WinXP SP3 and I'm running the game at 1680x1050, Graphics Detail: Very High, Anti-Aliasing: 8x and Texture Detail: High. The game is very playable (excluding actual game bugs)."
The E5200 is a Core 2, not a Pentium. Again, HUGE difference.
Anyway, E8500@3.8, 4770. Runs fine, though I need a new video card =(

Wow Thats alot of Problems based on the dual core. i run a C2D 2.00 GHZ with no overclocking with a NVidia Geforce 9400 GT (1gb) 5gbs of system memory vista home prem 32bit, and it runs just fine at 25-35 fps with settings at max.
Maybe your drivers and such need to be updated, that was the case for me on other games just a simple updating and BAM everything runs like it should.
