Mine were rubbish until I got a new graphics card, now they are probably
about the same as Vice City, although the draw distances are far better.
They have to be now that you can fly higher and there's more to see in the
distance with the game being so much bigger.
Maybe your graphics card is not quite up to the job? I had a GeForce 4 MX420
(64Mb) that couldn't quite cut the mustard. Upgraded to a NX6200 (128Mb) and
everything is now great.
It might be worth tweaking the display settings in SA to see if you can
squeeze better performance out of your card.
Sorry if it turns out that you need to spend money on new hardware, it is a
pain in the arse when that happens. If it's any consolation, playing SA is
worth it!
