I'm not very computer literate but I was highly disapointed when I purchased my new computer and came to find Empire: Total War was struggling to reach the level of gameplay I was expecting from it. I've used "CanYouRunIt" to gather details on my system specs and what's required and here's what I've been issued

If this is the case why is the highest I'm able to play Empire on "Medium" .. it looks sloppy and it runs awfully slow..
