I run it fine with WinXP + AMD + SBLive. Two things I did to my system that seemed to help all games:

1. Disabled ACPI (AMD + XP + ACPI = GARBAGE).
You can do this from device manager under "Computer". Just updated driver to "Standard PC". One caveat is that none of the power management crap works properly. You should also disabble ACPI in the BIOS as well.

2. As mentioned above I made certain my Sound Card had its own IRQ. This is imperative when dealing with 3D sound...even on XP, a system that normally supports non-unique IRQ's.

If those two don't work, I'm out of ideas. This article might help you out.
