I've been running the CyberMage demo with practically an identical
system to yours.  I have a Micron P120, 16 megs EDO, 256k Syncburst
cache, and a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM card.  I assume your
running in 640 x 480.  It does get choppy in full screen especially in
the temple and where there's alot of background activity.  In this
case I reduce the screen size one click and I can live with it.  It's
not your machine.  I hope that Origin tightens the code before it hits
the shelves.

Besides that, I love this game.  It's one of the best I've played all
year and I think that the commercial version will be much better, due
to the addition of a plot and a more complex environment.  I've had it
crash on me several times, have you?
