Yup, sorry, I missed that.

They're pretty darn close.

I could be wrong, this is from memory, but the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro was
the minimum for NWN2. I suspect you'd have to go in and turn down
some of the default graphics settings.
Or you may be having other issues, possible SecuRom. Are you getting
error messages, or it's just not running quickly?

i'm sure it doesn't.
on several websites i read it, here one of them :

Neverwinter Nights 2's engine is not optimized ('multithreaded') for dual
core CPUs. As such the game only uses the equivalent of one CPU at any time,
and can't be forced to fully utilize both for better performance. Worse
still, the developers have stated that the game may experience issues or
reduced performance on dual core CPUs (See the game's Readme.rtf file). To
prevent this, I firstly recommend that all AMD dual core CPU users install
the AMD Dual Core Optimizer Utility which fixes a potential timing conflict
in some games. For both AMD and Intel users who still feel like their dual
core CPU could be the cause of problems in NWN2, you can run the game in
single core mode by changing its affinity. Note that the game's Toolset can
utilize dual cores efficiently, just not the main game engine itself.
