I will admit, it's pretty low. My previous system was a 2GHz Athlon XP, and while Flash wasn't instant on there, and occasionally lagged, it worked. That died, and I haven't the means to replace it, so I've been using an old Dell Latitude C610 (1.2GHz P3, 256MB RAM); Flash just utterly fails on here.
right... so that's ~10 years old... I'm guessing given a P3 which were ending there cycle about 2000 with 1.2 GHz being the the upper performance range... for comparison I'm using 1.2G of ram right now without flash running... all of that between chromium and ktorrent. I couldn't run most of what I do now on linux with that system... so yes there are apps (like fluxbox) that would let me run that light. But for the most part it's just not true anymore. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
