Under my video card settings I set "Texture Color Deth" to "16 bits per texel" and my FPS jumped from 4FPS to 12FPS.

It apears that the default is to use the desktop Color depth. (In my case 32 bits.)

The source of your problems is actually that you do not meet our Minimum System Requirements. Second Life only works with the GeForce family of graphics cards (made by nVidia) and the Radeon family of graphics cards (made by ATI).

Residents who are running the right hardware should not try this step, as it may result in error messages or additional problems.
