I've never seen the "exploding triangles" at all, not even when I managed to seriously bork my game. (In RL, I have my own wood carving hobby-shack, so I've got lots of wood to knock on! )
My graphics card is an nVidia GeForce 7300 GS (over-clocked by the manufacturer) that I purchased specifically because it was a "gaming" card.
Actually, in all fairness to EA/Maxis, TS2 has never given me even 1/4 as much grief as TS1 did, at least when it comes to crash outs. TS1 crashed as a matter of course, while my only TS2 problems (that aren't CAS related- that's another topic!) were traced to either a bad UserStartupCheat entry or a funky download: i.e. operator error.
Of course I haven't gone BV yet, so I may be singing a different tune then...
