Who'd have thunk it? My netbook, despite its slowness, does actually have a pretty good graphics card on board. ATI Radeon 6250 apparently. Whatever that means, it's utterly better than the CCLOCIC (crappy crap load of crap Intel chipset). I'm surprised by how smoothly TS2 is playing on here, even with the addition of another expansion pack.
Better still, anti-aliasing also seems to be enabled on here. Have a look (click for big):

Eh, anyway, it looks a LOT better, and plays a lot more smoothly (when I say "play", I haven't actually put any Sims into it yet. I'm only using it for props.)
YaY for the Radeon chipset!
