I recently decided to install KotOR 2 again. It has been many years since I last played it and thought to give it another go, however I have come up on an impass. When I reach the point where you leave the Peragous aboard the Ebon Hawk I am plagued with unplayable lag. The conversation where you decide to fire upon the astroids and the cutscene run normally. Its during the conversaion that follows were you're talking to Atton and Kreia about the sith threat seaking out the last Jedi is when it lags. I believe my problem has something to do with the hyperspace graphics outside. The reason I believe this is that I can play the prologe just fine. While playing as T3 and looking out the window at the stationary stars, the games runs smoothly.
I am running a retail version of the game with the 1.0b patch. Also I am playing with the mod TSLRCM 1.8.4 and the mod M4-78EP 1.2. I am also using the Handmain 4 females - Disciple 4 males addon. (installed/patched in that oder)
Here is the rig I am using (its an older one I know but has run the game smoothly up until this point):
