KarraSue Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I found a new in box Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card, will this work for SL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theresa Tennyson Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That appears to be a card from 2004 and given the way Nvidia numbers their cards it would have been fairly entry level back then even. The graphics built into your CPU are probably more capable than that card would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The SL minimum system requirements are here... https://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ The minimum acceptable GeForce card is the 9600, which is approximately 10 times faster than the 6200.

Lillith Hapmouche Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Like Theresa wrote, it's old, it was already low level 13 years ago, but most of all: it uses an horribly outdated AGP slot and probably won't have proper driver support for current operating systems. If you still have compatible hardware to run that card, your computering expectations are probably pretty ... well, frugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hexem Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 New in the box? Where'd you find it, a time capsule? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarraSue Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 How about this laptop, would it be suited for SL? https://www.amazon.com/HP-Elitebook-8440p-14-Inch-Professional/dp/B00JAWY7NA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1497831453&sr=1-1&keywords=8440p+laptop&refinements=p_89%3AHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Probably still a nice typewriter, but not suited for SL. What's the matter now? Do you rather plan to "upgrade" your desktop computer or would you rather buy a "new" second hand laptop? If it's your desktop, then do get a tool like Speccy and post a screenshot of your system stats. That way, there's a chance to see if it's worth to change something about your setup. In general, the hard limit of your budget would be nice to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarraSue Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I just wanted a better laptop, I heard that HP one was a good machine. But it won't run SL?? What would be a good one to get that is reasonable priced? Edited June 19, 2017 by KarraSue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarraSue Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I was also offered an Acer Aspire v laptop as well, would it be good to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
