im not much of a tech guru, but perhaps more RAM good sir? i think the bare minimum was around 2 gigs, and if your running it on a pc im sure that the framerate/lagging could be helped alot with adding a couple/few more gigs of ram. if its more of a software thing then maybe perhaps make sure nothing is running in the background and defrag everything? it can help smooth it out.

do NOT take my opinion without a few shakes of salt though, as like i said, am not a tech guru

RAM would help if he had a 64-bit OS, but if it is 32-bit the max system memory is 4gb including the graphics card, so more would be a waste.

Yeah, funny thing about Fallout.

It was birthed from the loins of the two patron saints of buggy games.

It's kinda like the end of Threads, only instead of a mutant baby, it's a game.

Even with my beast rig, running the game on super ultimate, with not a single hiccup in combat, tin the wasteland it chops up. (due to loading areas, possibly slow HDD speed)

I'm running XP and it doesn't recognize more than 3 gigs of RAM, in actuality I have somewhere of 20+ gigs of RAM
