How KICK-ASS is your computer?

[digger]

Can't really see how a flash or even a javascript game can require a 2GHz processor.

Who said anything about Flash or Java? It builds a Cygwin environment on your system and then runs 3D video hosted on the server in a VNC window. Choice of overhead, perspective, or first-person views of the table. What they call an immersive environment in geekspeak.

Runs like ass on my low-end test box, but they must figure someone can run it or they wouldn't have released it, right?

I use RealVNC to talk to one of my other boxes without a monitor, seems real smooth, but that's mostly just desktop redraws.

I don't know how impressive my computer is or how it actually compares to the top-of-the-line laptops but it's good enough for me.

Hey DT , if you've got some spare cash (about $250) buy a Sb Audigy 4 I have one with Creative inspire P7800 7.1 analog speakers. But The Audigy 4 includes an audiodrive for digital speakers. So I have an optical cable (bumblee taped to the carpet) from my audiodrive to my receiver. Optical Out from the audiodrive to an optical in on a 7.1 pioneer reciever VSX-D850S.

Having said all that, Creative just released the X-Fi sound card and audiodrive...

I usually avoid the bleeding edge stuff because I want hardware that works as intended in FreeBSD or at least Linux. I think with my next box I will just run *nix on vmware from Windows.

No way to avoid that but have a windows machine and a BSD machine...
That way you get may out of both sets of hardware
