Hello,
Fedora 9 is under EOL because it is no longer supported. It is best to get Fedora 13 which is the latest version.
The reason about possible poor performance on Fedora 9 is probably due to multiple running services, lack of hardware acceleration.

You should examine why the performance is so low before you try the "shotgun" approach of thoughtlessly upgrading.


What does "top" show ?
What is happening wrt disk accesses and performance ?
Does "free" report you are using swap space ?

The system you describe should have decent performance so either ... something isloading the CPU, disk access is horrible, or memory is overloaded. I suppose you might be getting a rude number of interrupts from something (try powertop).

Diagnose before you treat.

Another option is to try going to http://www.winehq.org, and check the status of that game in the applications list. That site holds a huge list of Windoze programs that have been tested and often times workarounds to get them working are also posted.
