Yes, I'm a little bit disappointed that they got rid of the Legacy Graphics, because I don't have a REALLY modern system either, and the software is a little laggy, though I can get two tables going, albeit with some lag.
Though to be honest, I'm not a multi-tabler, where I'm going to go to 4-8 tables anyway, even for a tournament, I'm not an MTT grinder, I like to play on occasion.

The new graphics are too heavy for my computer as well.
I uninstalled the client and then reinstalled. The first time you run the client after the installation it has the option to deactivate aurora. But then when you log-in the second time it's not there. This means that the code for running the old graphics is installed. Any ideas how to disable that thing???
I also tried to run the pokerstars.exe instead of the pokerstarsupdate.exe but the option to disable the aurora is not there. supermad!@$$^&#!@

For memory problems on older computers, I found this helps as well:

Go to your task manager and find the XBOX line in the processes and "end task".
Not sure how to get rid of it permanently, so I just do that as soon as I start Stars.
Cheers.

I think that these graphic special effects are completely unnecessary and in fact they are of no use. I play poker for the sake of the game itself, not for some visualization or graphic special effects. It is very unfortunate that the updates only worsen the game itself.
I find it obnoxious not leaving the legacy graphics at least as an option that players can switch to. The legacy graphics is lightweight, and most importantly it looks good.
The most annoying thing about the new graphics is that the text looks awful/unreadable!
Fortunately, somebody mentioned in the replies that you can get the old look by deleting the the insides ImgCache folder. Let's enjoy this trick for some time until they they patch it.
Here are some screenshots to see the difference. You can barely read the player names on the Aurora small table, forget about being able to read the chat.

The throwables are annoying and Stars RNG is a joke, but they still beat the competition. I am going to start a thread so we can all come up with what the ideal poker site would look like.
TheHulk7 said:This still works but you have to do that every time before start stars client. They had the best software in the industry and look what they do..so sad.
I did exactly what was suggested (deleting all the files in the folder specified), and it worked for me. I was able to run 3 tables on Zoom at a time (I could barely run 2 on Aurora Graphics - I have an Intel i5 Dual Core, so probably pretty quite a relic relative to more current technology).
Anyway, I'm happy it's working for the time being.
