I preordered and joined the beta two days ago.  My first problem was that I had to click the run button in impulse (or the icon in the start menu) a ton of times before the game actually started.  This issue has been resolved.  But my current problem is this:  When I get into a game, even my vs. one AI opponent, it starts out barely playable, and over the next minute, turns into a slideshow.  I've tried logging out of the other accounts on the computer, and getting out of programs, but it doesn't work.  I'm not positive, but the slowness seems to apply to other people who I'm playing an MP game with (I've only tried one MP game, so I don't have any firm proof).

Thanks,

EDIT-- Whoops, forgot system specs:

Dell Optiplex GX280 Intel

Pentium 4 CPU 3.60GHz

3.59GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM.

My video card is: ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050

Yes, my video card drivers are up to date.

I have a 232 gig hard drive, with 21 gig free.  I have a new 600 gig hard drive on the way.  Would that help?
