I gather there's a whole slew of Elder Scrolls: Morrowind fans here? Yes? Good. Just bought the GOTY edition (Morrowind and the two expansions), and in theory I have more than enough of a machine to run it with all the damned bells and whistles a-ringin' and a-tootin'. Athlon 64 3000+ (1.8GHz), 1GB of RAM, GeForceFX 5200 with 128MB of memory. Still running 98SE though.
In theory.
In practice, the game runs obscenely slow, even in 640x480 resolution. Not exactly a slideshow, but damned near close enough, just jittery. As far as I can see, the only other two graphical options I can tweak are shadows and view distance, and setting both to the minimums yields not a single fps in return.
Usual spiel: Drivers and stuff are up to date, game is patched, system is in good running order. A cursory check of the support site and forums yields naught but the usual make sure your drivers are current/disk is defragmented/planets are in correct alignment blurb that is on every single support site. Ever.
And why the fudge do you have to register on a support board for what will essentially amount to a single post?
Anyway, I beseech thee, fellow Lurkers to help me in my hour of need and stuff.

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
