Got the game, played the tutorial. Some crashes, but overall nice performance. Nice game as well, though it took me some time to figure out how to set up a proper economy (lousy tutorial). However, the game just doesn't work in the imperial mode. At all.
So I browsed the net, and I found, for example, the official R:TW forum, filled with complaints about the worthless performance of the game. At first, the game crashed after 3 seconds in the imperial campaign. After I installed new video drivers and the 1.1 patch, I could play up to one turn. A nice one: apparently, performance goes up with Windows Media Player 10. Unfortunately, wmp 10 doesn't have windows 2000 support... bunch of assholes.
Anyway, I might try some quick battles (though I play for the management part...), but I'll let this game lie until they're releasing a new patch.
