Physical Memory: 504MB RAM
Card Name: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

That's the main reason.
You have hardly any ram, and a very slow video card.


Other than that, the game will always take longer when there is more for the AI to calculate. So the longer the game and the more races (you have 10 in this game), the longer each turn will take.

ok, thanks. By the way, what video card do you run on? Any suggestions as to which card I should get?

I have a factory overclocked version of the Nvidia 6800GS, and I am quite happy with it.

Almost any modern card will run this game pretty well at not quite top resolutions.

If you spend 100 bucks it'll probably be good enough. I would go buy more ram first though. (get to 1 gig idealy.)
