I can't believe I didn't post this months ago but everyone should do this regardless of how fast your computer is because Joymax coded this feature completely wrong in my opinion (though it's more like horrendously inefficient than wrong)
On the in game menu click options and on the video tab change shadows to none.
On a lagging scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being smooth as butter and 10 being a slideshow, Detailed shadows is an 11, Circle shadows is a 3 and Nothing is a 1.
I can turn everything to the minimum and turn circle shadows on and it lags more than with everything maxed out and circle shadows off. Unfortunately, the default when you install the game is Circle if I remember correctly so turn it off and it will help immensely

that's not true. Morrowind shadows run perfectly on my BFG6600GT. Writing a game for ATI cards IS coding it wrong since AMD processors tend to work better with Nvidia cards

(though that's highly debatable)

Thanks desolator, it worked perfectly. I really didn't have much trouble before, but it defenitely improved the smothness lots.

Try english. It's tasty.

Normal setups + sro + nvida = lag with shadows on.

Or we could not go overkill and waste a bunch of money and get something such as an intel core 2 duo e6600 a 7900gt/gs 2gb of ram and play any game out there? Sounds good to me.
