Graphics Card

[Hegelian]

And finally—

 Unfortunately for me, TS2 doesn't offer 1280x1024 as an option, but it looks surprisingly good at whatever the next lower resolution is--1150x???--I don't have the game open at the moment and I don't remember the exact resolution options. In any event, this isn't issue with CRT monitors.

Doh. This may have been true for the original game, but I've just done a complete re-install of all three packages, and at least with NL 1280x1024 is an option in the video settings--and it sure does look great!

ow, my head hurts.
I have an ATI 9200 and it works ok with smooth edges on most of my lots, though it's the first thing I turn off when things start to slow. I will upgrade my videocard but I think I'll see what damage the EPs do before deciding how much I can spend on it. These prices look ok and all, but last time I decided the one I wanted and it was over $400 (canadian, in store)

I'm afraid I have no answer for you about this, especially without being able to see what you're describing first-hand. Sorry!
