Wow, with the price's of video card's dropping through the ceiling lately, it really is about time to consider an upgrade. At least for me it was, about 3 or 4 years ago I replaced an ATI Radeon with 128m onboard ram with a Nvidia 8400GS and 256m, If I remember correctly it cost about 150$. it was a PCIE card, and has worked quite well for my use's in SL. Recently it went on the fritz ! Ka-Putt !! It just stopped working correctly.
So it was time to cough up what little money / spare change I have and find a replacement. Being the penny pincher that I am I decided to get a bottom of the line NVIDIA GeForce 210 by a company called GALAXY. A 70$ card on sale for 50$ at my local Best Buy Store.
Boy what a difference, this thing has a 16 multi-core processor, and 1 Gig of Ram. So for 1/3rd the price, I got 3 times the processing power, and RAM, and picked up about 7 FPS.
Now that's pretty darn cool if ya ask me.
