Play it on XP, and tweak your computer a little bit.

Nah, i have 1gb of ram and h2v runs pretty well. I'd concentrate on the graphics card.

Some people mentioned running it on XP, i have tried and i cant get mine to register, it does perform a lot better, but once again i would say upgrade your ram to at least 2 gigs, if there is a way that you find to register H2V in XP i would suggest that

AMD athlon x2 3800+
2GB corsair
PCI-e X16 Nvidia 6600 VE
i get around 36FPS in single and 50 in multi-player*
my vista (Ultimate) takes 645MB in idle
XP- i get 47FPS Avg single and haven't been able to use Multi-player*
XP takes 789MB while playing H2V

*lowest quality settings and instead of windowed mode, i find a better boost in using -novsync which turns off verticle sync (not used in performance analysis)

BTW to those of you who suggested Razzor1911's mod a link to how to register it would be nice
