1. Make sure you have the most up to date driver for your video processor. It DOES make a difference.
2. DirectX hasn't been updated through Windows Update since about the time Windows XP was released. Most of you WILL need to go download the most recent Direct X End-User Runtime from Microsoft's web page, as they update that Direct X EURT about every 2-4 months. Getting that up to date will often have even a bigger impact than the driver.
Trust me - KR looked a 1000 times crappier than it really was, until I did the Direct X update. SA will probably have similar issues, especially for those who never tried KR (as many KR players got into the habit of routinely checking microsoft for a directX update)
