What model video card?

Memory isn't the only telltale part of a video card's ability, they vary widely in their performance so you can easily have one card that can handle 10 times what another can handle, and both have 128MB RAM.

It just sounds to me like the game is too much for your card at that resolution. At 1024x768 that's only 786,000 pixels, while at the higher resolution it's a million more pixels, so more than double.

You could try playing with the graphical settings, turning things down and off to get a better frame rate at 1680x1050, or choose a lower widescreen resolution (1440x900).

You could also try playing with the monitor settings to get it to stretch the 1024x768 image to full screen; but that will of course distort everything somewhat.

EDIT: Or get one of these: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...gon=&langid=EN
