Hi, Tucker!

I believe the graphics card you are using is WAY below the minimum required to run SL.
You pretty much need a top-of-the-line graphics card to get good performance with SL, as well as a fast CPU and lots of memory. I suggest you check out the the recommended hardware list on the SL support page. Sorry! _____________________

Not sure what you budget is bud, but SL will play great on a Ti4200-4600 GF4 card, and those can be had pretty cheaply now.
I'd recommend a 128MB model at least. Many can be found for $80 or so. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=324017 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=323249 zipzoomfly.com is the old googlegear and they have alot of great prices on their equipment. Another good place is Newegg.com and I have seen some older Radeon 9200's there for 40-50 dollars which in the 128MB + models should be good enough to get you through till Xmas Hope this helps and good luck to you! _____________________

Aw, I really wasn't mocking you, I really would enjoy some rainbow sims. I'm not technically inclined, otherwise I would have posted equally brilliant things as those did after me.

Make sure you get a card with two graphics ports. They're the same price and there's no reason not to have one, even if you never plug a second monitor into your computer. (Though I have to recommend you do -- only having a single monitor sucks.)
