I am playing Simcity 4 Deluxe with Maxis US Patch and no Addins In XP Pro with 2g RAM, Sound Blaster Audigy SE Card, ATI/AMD Radeon 9250 PCI 256m Video Ram Card (Video Res 1024x768), Pentium 4 2 Ghz, WD 300g EIDE HD (100gb Free). During Gameplay (usally after 10 or 15 min), the game slowsdown and then freezes on any game speed. I have only sound and video drivers loaded, and turned off networking processes and turned off security software at boot. I did not have this problem before upgrading both the sound card (Sound Blaster Live 5.1) and video card (ATI/AMD Radeon 9000 Pro AGP 4/8 128m Video Ram Card (Video Res 1024x768)). Please Help!

The drivers that came with the card were version 5.5, the ATI site had both driver versions 6.0 and 11.1 for download. Dx had all 3-d features turned on and the Driver software was set up for gaming mode.

I only have a Single Core CPU. Would it help if i roll back the video driver from version 11 to version 6?

I no longer have the video card, i did not think there would be a problem to upgrade the video card.
