Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness

Hi,
I recently bought Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness. I installed it, ran it and when I finally entered ingame I see Lara perfectly but the room is displayed wrongfully. Every step I take with Lara makes the room display big areas of black. It seems as if the textures cannot be displayed. Something is wrong with displaying the textures of the room. I have tried so many settings, nothing seems to help. Could it be my drivers? I don't know..
Here's my system:
AMD 2400xp+
256 MB DDR RAM @333 MHz (true speed: 197 MHz)
S3 64 MB onboard video (crappy chip that isn't really compatible with modern games)
Video driver: VIA S3 KM400/KN400
DirectX version: DirectX 9.0c (dxdiag: no problems found anywhere)
Current resolution: 1280x1024@75 Hz
If anyone would like to help, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Treval Lightner.

I checked out Eidos Interactive's support site and all the system requirements say is that you need a 16 MB 3D card with hardware Transform and Lighting. Although they didn't list the specific video chipsets they tested the game with, there's a strong chance that yours wasn't one of them. If updating your video card drivers doesn't help, plan on getting a new ATI or Nvidia card.

Thank you,
NegotiatorSmith, for your trouble. I'd like to mark that my graphics card doesn't have T&L, which is one of the reasons why I can't play COD and such. It might be indeed my chipset. Hm. I shall see for updating my drivers. I've been planning to buy a gfx card anyway, for I am tired of low-res (lol).

I think that another 256mb RAM stick ( at least) would do you good + new videocard .Especially if it is Windows XP you got? Either way, more RAM will improve the overall performance of your PC!
Take a look at NEWEGG. They have some good, rather cheap ATI and Nvidia cards.

This for ex.
MSI ATI RADEON 9550 Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "RX9550-TD128" -RETAIL 66 US dollars.
