Whenever I goto other planets it runs a nice 60fps. But, when I goto Saturn the framrate goes to 1-5fps. I don't know why!
Radeon 8500
AthlonXP 1800
WindowsXP Pro
768MB of RAM
Saturn is SLOWWWW
Does turning off "ring shadows" in the Render/View Options menu make any difference?
My guess, without knowing the details, would be that the ATI drivers for your card have to use software routines to render ring shadows.
How about Uranus, does that draw slowly too? Its rings are included in Celestia but are almost invisible.
