Well, that part should work fine - I mean, that's just menus - but the game environment looks a bit dire on mine. It's worth noting again, though, that mine is fairly old - I bought it when I started college version 3, and I'm just finishing my fourth year (no, not graduating yet) - and, as I said before, the game looked no better than "acceptable" before the update. (Also, upon further review, I think part of the problem is that the new ESD design has arseloads of angles in it of the kind that exaggerate iffy texture resolution and/or missing antialiasing.)

Oh, and while I'm bitching, I'd just like to thank the rest of the user base for making it impossible to appreciate the ESD redesign on my desktop system either, even though the graphics work fine there, because every gonk in the fleet is busting out some kind of compulsory disco ball in there. I mean for fuck's sake.
