I played this game back in 2007 and really liked it and it ran on a PC with less grunt than i have now. I tried to play a couple of times since and no go, too laggy. Other games I run fine, like GTA 5 (online version), Borderlands and other fps games, so why not SL ? Sorry, not paying money to upgrade hardware when this is clearly a problem that SL developers should address. Until then I just play other games.
