So 0 A.D. plays fine on my laptop but I also like to listen to music but when I run Banshee at the same time the computer logs me out and I have to log in but 0 AD is shut down but Banshee is still running. I have a 2.5 Ghz i3 and 3.5 GB of memory so I think I have enough resources for it. Any ideas?
See for yourself 
Use “top” or “free” to tell You what is using up the resources.

What is “free” or “top”, here re the system requirements for the game.
System Requirements: 1 GHz CPU, modern graphics card (GeForce 3 at minimum), 512 MB RAM
These are tools for monitoring the resources of your system :
free(3): Allocate/free dynamic memory - Linux man page
top(1): tasks - Linux man page
You need to run them from terminal. I prefer top because it’s somewhat interactive, whereas free just prints the detailed output of your memory stats.
Best regards,
