Tho I do have an issue with the game freezing/skipping from time to time and the only way I managed to fix this was by turning off the CPU's power-saving mode, I had to force the CPU to run at 3600Mhz otherwise it kept jumping between 1700-3400 and lagging the crap out of me
Currently running with:
Windows XP
2GB RAM
Geforce 210
AMD Athlon II x4 620 (2.61ghz quad core)

Game is installed on a 120gb IDE 7200rmp Harddrive that also houses windows.
Also have a 300gb SATA harddrive.

Can currently run the game on default 'standard' settings, runs smoothly in many areas but often drops in frame-rate in heavy foilage areas such as bushes around trees in Thanalan and most of Black Shroud. Weather also causes a drop in frame-rate, which can make it especially horrible in Black Shroud when it starts raining. However most of Thanalan and La Noscea run smoothly.

In cities, Ul'dah runs perfectly, Gridania runs fairly ok, but for some reason Limsa has a horrible frame-rate whenever I'm near the adventurers guild.

I'm hoping to upgrade my Geforce 210 to a Series 4 GT soon, as well as adding an extra 2GB of RAM

I was wondering though, would my loading times and possibly some in-game lag be reduced if I moved my games installation over to the SATA drive instead of running it on the IDE drive that also houses my OS?
