Burris, I cannot figure this out.
I have had more people with CORE installed complain of the memory spike.
I can only think that some how your clean install is interacting with the CORE mod.
I confess I am a little confused. It could always be coincidence, but the only people that have this problem have CORE on their hard drive, or installed.
Can you look through your mod and see if you can find any possible cause.

The HOI with CORE on it is on drive d.
The one im using has no mods, and is on Drive C.

I know that, however It could still be referenceing the other drive some how, like with a moddir?
The only released version of C.O.R.E. (beta 0.1) was pre-1.04 and doesn't use mod-dir (since it didn't exist).
Since these troubles seem to have arisen after the release of 1.04 I suspect there's been some undocumented change in that patch that breaks C.O.R.E.
or some unintentional side effect from mod-dir (which already has some bugs logged against it).
It seems the game only slows for me when I have the tech screens up, it works fine in the other screens, and it doesn't happen all the time.
Ill take your advice, i've uninstalled both copies, im reinstalling now, ill play a test game as Greece.
Sure enough its extr4emely slow STILL, and it has nothing to do with core as it is now nowhere on my HD.
Not at this moment, no.
I do however have growing suspicions it's my outdated video card, which is getting replaced.. hopefully this month.

Probably not the video card but maybe drivers. Also, since you're running an Athlon you may want to make sure your motherboard/chipset drivers are up to date; either the mb manufacturer or chipset manufacturer should have updates (I'm only familiar with VIA chipsets so I don't know how ALi, SiS, or AMD handle their chipset updates).
Thanks for the suggestions, All the computers on my system run Intel so I am not too fammiliar with the Athlon chips.
I know you took CORE off your HD, but are you still using the ModDir command at all?
Actually, I reinstalled core, and deleted EVERY single trace from HOI, and it seems to be running slightly better.
(I also noticed Alt-Tab slows down the game, alot)
The world is at war and its running fine. (But its the first year of war... 1943 is when it gets bad..)

Have to agree with Jdrou on the vid and also mem and chip. I have not seen these problems, and on one machine I am using an old AMD chip (850 mhz), and only a 16 meg vid card (though it is a good one -Nvidia), with only 386 Ram SDR! (Paradoxically, this machine has a huge HD-but this is what comes of scavenging I suppose!).
Unless your video card is more retarded than the one on my old scavenged machine, it is more likely that it is either drivers as Jdrou supposed or a sound card or driver for same. This is especially likely if you have a non-onboard, low-end sound card. Weird but true, sound cards can be the death of game performance, and often are at the root of display issues as well.
Also possible you got a corruption during install or updating or somehow during a save. Reinstall should have taken care of that though.
An unlikely but rare possibility is that there is something about the 104 update that is interfering with something that you have running in the background on your machine that we don't have (though to be honest I haven't any idea what that might be and you can only test it by methodically eliminating the background progams from your task manager to see if there is any effect... -er, DON'T remove systray or exlorer!!!).
Lastly, if Steel is right and there is something that happened in 104 causing a mem leak when interacting with the Core mod, I know I know, you removed it from the sys, but did you remove the Reg entry?
On AMD and other chipset-makers, typically these are easy to find on the mfg sites usually under support downloads or whatever passes for the same on their site. An exception is AT whose site and driver updates leave much to be desired. Let me know if you need AT (hope to God you don't) and I will help since our organization has more experience with navigating their site than they apparently do themselves.

I can't play with FOW. It annoys me. Besides, I didn't notice any difference.
I updated Sound Drivers... Im gonna test it.
EDIT: No, it isn't sound/graphics/Motherboard drivers.
This is really starting to bother me.
Heres a crazy idea, probably not it, but could resolution have something to do with it? (Screen resolution, not game)
EDIT II: Nope..

Lower resolution and color depth, do increase the performance of your video card.
This sounds like there is a memory leak or something though.
