Pretty terribly underpowered computer ya got there.  You'll want to put the battle slider down to 25 besides the normal stuff of dropping all the usual graphics stuff down to low, but with such low RAM, graphics, and processor power that that probably won't make much of a difference.

Cut down the all the graphic requirements and work your way up increasing them step by step to see what helps you most in getting your game fluent. Shadows, water, ragdolls, and unlimited corpses usally give the greatest boost. And there are a few tweaks to improve the battle speed in forrested/hilly terrain considering the polygon size. Try a search for that and any useful topics and hits how to improve your gameing experience or ask someone over in the technical forum nicely.

I have almost the same computer, except my processor is a dual core 1.6 and the graphic card is nvidia GeForce 6200 TC

I can play battles of almost 100 vs 100 without mayor problem.

Here's what I do:

Play in 800x600 16 bits, antialiasing x2
Textures 50%
Grass density quite low
Shadows low
Corpses 40
Ragdolls 5
Character and character shadow detail quite low
Realistic shadows on plants full
Faster water reflections
Battle size says 245 ingame and 165 in the battle sizer, the real number is between 190 and 200 when I go to a battle
No anisotropic fyltering

I think that's quite it... It doesn't run perfectly smooth but it's still playable.
If you still have trouble or it runs too slow maybe you could consider playing in directx 7.

Hope it helped.

I wouldn't just consider directx7 - I'd do it right away

the resolution 800x600 16 bit should be full screen or windowed?

 

[Wixard]

Even a 6200 should really m and b well, have you updated video drivers? Made sure you don't have something huge sucking up resources? (like norton)

I run it full screen.

Also try to avoid any other program running at the same time as someone said above.

Do you know if changing the priority class of the Mount&Blade process (through task manager or process explorer or somesuch) affects the game quality?

What he means is buy a computer that is not so underpowered.

You can tweak all day, but in reality your setup lacks processing speed to handle M&B.

Are you kidding me? My laptop can and does run todays high end games such as GTA IV and Fallout 3 with the graphics on medium high-high without a problem.

Your $1700-3000 laptop can almost run one year old games just like $700 desktop? good for you. OP has a low end crap comparable to 3 year old office notebook.

 

[AdaChanDesu]

Everythin' highest as possible, a'course 
These GeForce 260GTX and X3 Core are quite bored playing only GTA IV, Crysis, STALKER, Jagged Alliance, (INSERT NAME HERE) Total War....
