Thanks buddy, now I don't have to kill it :worship:

I may be wrong but it could be located in a folder that has something about "wet t-shirt" in the name.

Yeah, no kidding; you can do photos in the booth?

I live in FL, trust me, you would have been better off with a new computer.

The penguin must die. If Squinge is unable to help me soon I will be forced to use the machine gun.

Oh my, you didn't tell us that before. Ah well, good luck with it.

18,388 files, 270 folders, 7.28 GB - I downloaded over 1700 files in four days, I wonder how long it will take to start my game now

I couldn't disagree with you more. I had an X700 256 MB and found it to be the biggest POS I ever had the misfortune of paying good money for. I had to suffer with it for 3 months until I got my current setup. Never again ATI.

Just because it isn't Bluewater doesn't mean you didn't go lower than the water table for that particular hood. Move the lot to higher ground.

Bluewater is it?

put the lot higher up

It will certainly be better than what you have now. Considering the fact you are on an AGP board and have pretty much reached the end of its upgradability the cheaper card may be the best answer until you can afford to get a newer system.

XFX makes a 512 MB 7600 GS for AGP, it goes for about $150 US. I would really not recommend getting anything less than 256 MB, 512 MB would be preferable or you may find that you just threw good money after bad.

Just to give everyone an idea of what a resource sucking pig that seasons is, I have 2 7600 GS 512 MB cards running in SLI mode for a total of 1 GB video RAM and I still have to wait and look at the blue screen when I re-enter the game after I alt+tab out. Now I will admit, my hoods are a bit extreme. The Woohoo U. sub-hood uses about 1 GB ram just sitting there in neighborhood view while the other "less developed" sub-hoods use ~650 MB.

Therefore IMHO, using less than a 7 series nVidia card with 256 MB vid ram is going to be problematic at best. Game manufacturers are notoriously optimistic in their estimations of what will work with their games. Sure it will run but just try and add something and/or do something with a minimum or even the "recommended" spec system.

I hope it's not because running a restaurant in the game sucks as bad as it does in RL :lol:  Probably the best solution though.
