Have a look in Device Manager under display adapters, and it should say the make and model of the card.

graphics card sucks, great for low end/2D stuff, below average for gaming.
i'd suggest an ATI 9600pro (128mb ram) as your best option

Yeah, that's probably where the problem lies.

I'm right there with you. I'm mostly managing by sitting down somewhere near my mum and constantly sighing.

Downloading the demo at home while i'm at work, will give it a go tonight.
Although i fear there isn't much chance it'll run on my Graphics card (Matrox Parhelia 256mb) as it isn't offically a DX9 card, will try some beta DX9 drivers but i'm not too hopeful

[conti'd from the other thread]
hrmph.
Leadtek GeForce 6200 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-063-LT)
or
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon 9550 256MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (R9550-TDW256-C) (GX-010-HT)
?
Both about £40 at overclockers. Which I might be prepared to spend. And not buy Juiced.
yet

Id go with the HIS because of it's cooling, thus making it far more overclockable
