I was using an 128MB GeForce MX4000 before, and was playing with the visual fx set to "low". The main reason I got the fx5500 was to play the game with the "high" visual fx settings (It looks a lot better, there's a lot of detail I didn't even know existed before the upgrade). So I don't want to turn down the fx again, 'cause that would be disappointing. I'll try a re-install, tho. I will post back with the results.
