Hi, Blair, welcome to the forums!

Have you tried turning off VBO (Vertex Buffer Objects)?

Edit/Preferences/Graphics (custom). Choose the Hardware options button in the bottom right of the dialog, you should uncheck VBO (it is on by default, I believe).

Many ATI graphics cards have issues with VBO.

Good luck!

WOOOW, what a trick, that gave me 8 fps by turning that off. I have a Dell XPS m2010 with a ATI x1800, and I have struggled with my grafhic card in here, thanks a lot from me too :-D

Does that mean the Linden Lab no longer hates you? :)

Thanks very much for this suggestion! I have also had this problem with my x1950 but mainly when I'm doing something that makes my card have to work really hard and get hot: like running two clients simultaneous. Because of what VBO does, it makes sense that corruption of the vertex data in graphics memory a fault.
