I have a crap graphics card, a Pentium 4 and 512meg of Ram - So my comp isnt that great.

What are the best settings that I should run on? Iam running on 800x600 in windowed mode because it would lag to much in full screen.

So what "Draw Distance"do? And what other settings should I apply for no lag?

Cheers

The draw distance tells the computer how far will it draw objects in a 3D graphics program, such as SA. The more the draw distance, the clearer the background objects; this makes the computer work harder just to draw faraway objects. Try to set the draw distance to medium, and play around with the detail settings - CJ might end up blocky in there, but this should help you with the game. Also, there might be other background processes that get in the way; freeing up memory for SA to use may help you, too... An internal graphics card may not make SA work properly...

P.S.: Feel free to give me a HijackThis log of your PC; there might be some unwanted stuff there...

Big deal UO

Don't put the draw distance on medium, put it on the lowest setting and 800x600(x32)

If still lagging and you really want to play then you'll have to put it on x16. No lag at all then, put you'll have a crappy reso.
