Fallacy of relative time in the computer world. Eight month old drivers may as well be eight years old if the product in contention happens to be a few weeks old.

I have now patched my WinXP up to Service Pack 2, and haven't crashed out of the game yet.

Still, my biggest problem may be a driver issue (and am still unable to get the new driver package to recognize my current IGP). The problem comes in the form of decals. The game decals a whole bunch of stuff over the environment skins of the map: hadbills/flyers, graffitti, and blood splatter from the gun battles. I'll be able to see these decals only when looking straight-on at them: as soon as I strafe or turn, the decals disappear. Mind you, these are the decals— not the skins— so it's literally the inconsequential eye-candy that's affected.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
