> [@FuzzyFish](#): > > Given the requirements for the new OS alone I fail to see how it’s a solution to PC gaming. :bloated: The early beta (which would usually be pretty slow) actually seemed faster on my computer than XP. I don’t have anything special. XP 2400 @ 2.25GHz, 384MB DDR266 @ 300 MHz. PATA drive.
