Don't have Men of war...but have a question.

I played MoW at maximum with a similar Intel Q6600 + 8800GT + 4GB RAM system so I doubt it is your hardware, as mentioned above try updating your video drivers and audio drivers. Also make sure to turn off all unnecessary apps running in the background just in case. And if that doesn't help, you might want to test it under Windows 7 (preferably on another unused hard drive). Don't forget you can install and run Windows 7 for up to 30 days. ISOs are available from Microsoft.
