since Monday I stated to have big problems with this game. first is slowing down, chocking, I thought was my video card I replaced it. Same problems with the new video card, I replaced the motherboard because I got memory drains, like Errors about memory, blue screen, freeze, luck up. The motherboard is the same one but new. Get drivers done. Via, Ati, etc. Infrogames forum are closed. The game screw up my whole system. I have Me and my motherboard is Soltek V2, 500 mb, Ati 8500 128mb. I dont know what to do

I've been looking at the Infogrames forum, and they're full of people having issues with the game. Hopefully, the first patch will fix them. I don't have any problems with the game ... it looks like those who are not running NT kernels (2K, XP) are having the most problems. You're running WinME, so that may be the root of your problems as well. I have had only success with UT 2003 on my WinXP machine.

I have been playing UT2003 on XP Pro, I play like 4 hours a day for the last 10 days and it workes very good
it must be something with your OS
I think it's time for an upgrade

I Have a GF3 Ti200 on an XP 1800 and it ran very bad at first, but then I remembered this happened in UT 1 and Unreal1. I opened notepad and ran UT2003.ini file from the system folder. Change Precache mentions to True, then find ALL mention of CacheMem Size from 32 to 92 or higher based on a 256Mb to 512Mb RAM system. You will instantly notice an almost instant loading time on to the menu and intro. And maybe be able to up everything without murdering the system again. Strewth my system went from 19fps average to a whopping 85fps on the Tokara Forest level. I even see Fps of 150 in Phobos2! Mind you my GF3 is overclocked!
