Do you have a 3D graphics board or chip on your respective computers.
Not many laptops have that facility, most tend to use on chip software rendering, which puts too much of a load on the processor.
In my experience, to run FMS with any kind of style, you really need a Geforce or Radeon card at a minimum.
A Geforce 2 MX card is good bet, they're very cheap to buy (new £20-30, S/H £10-15) and will serve you well. Anything above that will only improve things, although be careful with ATI cards- driver and compatibility problems on later models!
