Ok now we are getting somewhere...

If you could find out what model graphics card you are using that would be very helpfull, the amount of ram is not realy a big tip off (unless it is your video ram that is bad and you would know that right away beleve me)

When you say slightly customised would that be a voided waranty? That is, if it is even under waranty, if it is I would contact Dell you may have defective hardware on your hands.

Let me also say that bad ram is still looking like a culprit, my next recomendation would be to back up and perform a clean OS install with brand new drivers... if your system has been up for 20 months it likely has a few hitchhikers.

Do you run Spybot: Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware, is your virus scan up to date?

What if any firewall do you use have you tried setting up port forwarding for SW:G or disableing it (for testing purposes) while you play?

Is this an automatic falure, (the crash) has it always been or has it become more and more common as time passes?

Those two options require a different number of skill points. What else will you be giving up to go from 4000 to 2002?
