Since Emerald is well, getting shot down, I'd like to thank my friend JaCiCa for the info and link to check out the options we all now have on Second Life..

I've already replaced my graphics card, I can't get 2.0 to work and Snowglobe freezes on me.
Maybe in here somewhere are better options.
Just be sure to save a back up of your old viewer before you go trying something new.
Good Luck!
