Second Life and Graphics Cards

There was recently an update to Second Life, this is a "required download" (that is you must download it to be able to get in-world). I have now downloaded it on to each of the 3 computers I use regularly, and am about to make a request that the download is done on our lab machines.

Second Life now moans about the graphics card on two of the three computers, and suggest that I would like to upgrade, fortunately it does continue to run, and I haven't noticed any significant difference.

However such changes could be the source of a problem if you were wanting to run a class for 20 people and discovered that your computers were not good enough. It would be good practice if providers were to offer to give you 12 months notice that their worlds were going to require you to upgrade your computer.
