    Hi, I recently brought a vostro 1500 with these specs:
    Intel core2 duo 7500 @2.20ghz (Vista, directx 10)
    2gb ram
    250gb hard drive
    GeForce 8600M GT with 169.09 forceware
    Now I can run TF2 normally with the recommended settings, but this is what happens:

    I dunno if somethings wrong or not, but I think it looks blocky and shiny. I don't think thats supposed to happen.
    Also when I try to run it at any higher settings it lags.
    What do you think guys? Something wrong with the drivers or bad settings or something?
