Wont work with SL , you want Ati / Nvidia cards to even log in on, why youd get alot of odd behavior and crashing.

Not only that but that laptop is yanking about 8MB of your RAM to run video.

WHich means you're not only getting less RAM than you paid for, but you also have a really crappy video card. Even cheesy-graphics games like Sociolotron tend to lag with that.

Bluntly put, your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Second Life because of that video card. And since it's a laptop, that could be something you can't do anything about without a new machine.
