    Game keeps freezing every few seconds, help pls [SOLVED]

    I played the demo & loved it so i bought the full game today, except when the loading screen finishes the game starts to freeze every few seconds for 15-20 seconds then unfreezes for 2-3 seconds then same again repeat.

    I have reinstalled the game twice today & i have installed the latest gfx drivers, im running a AMD mmx 64x2 dual core 3800+ with 2gb DDR2 ram & a 8800GTS gfx card. I play mmo's with max gfx & effects turned up and i have no lag or any problems at all.

    Does any one have any ideas how to fix it, my dxdiag is below i have not copyed the hole thing as its huge but if its needed i will add it.

    Thx for any advice.

    Cheers Sci-Fi
