| With Second Life open, up top under Help, click "About Second Life" All your system stats are listed here.

| | |
| On any version of the SL Client, the main things to look out for are:
| |
| | |
| Graphics Card Manufacturer:
| |
| Graphics Card:
| |
| OpenGL Version: (the higher the better, generally)
| |
| | |
| Visit the video card manufacturers website and compare this information with what drivers are currently available.
| |
| | |
| GENERALLY, its best to update to the current drivers. On occasion Second Life runs better on a less current version.
| |
| For the most up to date information, check the forums. http://www.secondlife.com/forums

| |
| | |
| (PC or Mac)
| |
| | |
| Nvidia Geforce2 (32MB RAM) or higher, or ATI Radeon 8500 (32MB) or higher
| |
| | |
| Players are playing with other cards that work but this is what is supported. If you have a card other than these you will need
| |
| to find the manufacturers webpage and update to the latest drivers and hope for the best. You may also try the forums and see
| |
| if anyone has posted with a similar setup to yours and got it to work.

| |
| * gforce MX 400
