Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here it goes:
Im currently useing a pc with dual core pentium4 2.66ghz,windows xp. 2gb of ram.
my video card is an ATI radeon X1650pro with 512 mb of ram. Iy runs all my pc games very well but sl....no. I occasionally see things like textured bleeding on to my av weird effects that make me have to relog. Things rezz slow and textures can soemtimes stay gray forever.
Im thinking about an nvidia 9800 gt. would this improve things for me or what should i do?

Im no techie but the more ram the better off you are in SL ... I run 2 gigs and a GeForce 8800 GT Video Card and I have texture problems... I honestly dont think those at LL knows what graphics card is perfect for the game.. and if they do , then it would be nice if they informed the rest of us . _____________________

Yes, a 9800GT will be an improvement over a Radeon 1650.
There are a couple things you may want to try to improve the performance on your current system. Go to Edit > Preferences > Graphics and press the hardware options button. Uncheck "Enable VBO". That may help with some graphics glitches. Press CTRL-ALT-D to enable the advanced options. Under the Advanced menu, go to rendering and enable Run Multiple Threads. This should speed things up a bit. _____________________
