as far as i'm concerned with the game running on my system, it runs very well. the patches run fine as long as they have administrator rights and XP compatibility mode. and, yes, i can run both games, and i do have Vistax64.
and give it up for raw horsepower: despite running a Radeon, instead of my framerate dropping to unplayable levels on Dantooine in K1, it still runs a fairly smooth 30fps without me running the swkotor.ini fix.

See the struggle of the faithless lot as they negate their time
How low to sink to the depths of their frame of mind
