which makes fps pretty bad on this machine

Does your machine meet minimum specs? I think I saw ray saying that the new station menu's and the likes wont fit into 640x480, so its not a bug, its a feature :P

Sheesh. Is it even possible to get a new 640 x 480 monitor anymore?
I guess you play in windowed mode, then 'nanzi.

Gartner group surveys of internet users say 92% of users have 800 x 600 or better res on their monitor. In fact, more people report 1024 x 768 now.

yeah, well, lebermac, well over 92% of users dont use macintosh. so there.
