Hi, If it is stock then u should have no prob. i used Leo4allv2 (10.5.2) on my dell dimension 8300 Not running Vanilla. Try leo4allv2 and dont select any thing in the "Customize" Menu just uncheck things like Cool apps, language translations, Fonts, Or u can just leave it be. (Maby leaving it alone will be the best bet )

 

Hope it works for u!

 

P.s i have a differnt Video card. I have a nVidia card. I dont know much about ATI, I know there are Drivers for video cards that enable QE and give u more Res.
