Well your graphics card is below minimum spec, but I've read other with underspec machines have been ok. Does the Tech demo work alright?

Hmm, yeah. It needs to be taken down to low settings for the creature to animate smoothly but.. I'll give it a go I think and report back

I played happily with GeForce 8800 without lowering any default settings. Of course, 8800 is the top end of its generation and 9300 is the bottom [of the next one]... but I'm not sure it makes it so much worse. Should be ok, I guess.

...Oops, I forgot that my 8800 has 768 MB of video memory :)

Well, its playing ok on low settings @ 1600x900
Win 7 x64 ultimate.

What would be handy - as this is where I am currently experiencing slow down - would be a specific toggle to reduce the quality of the teleport fields. IE the puzzle areas on level 4, there the number of fields make the game run slowly.

You could try lowering your res as 1600x900 is quite high. That would make a big fps difference.
