I agree, boxes like this are not the norm.  Many people today consider a
K6-2 350 to be a "low-end" machine.  You can't continually build to the
lowest common denominator without stifling progress.

I tried it (once) on an AMD 5x86/133.  Not good :p

It is.  I suppose that my point was that Ogg is not _yet_ a solution for all
machines, and is impractical (though not unusable) on truly low end
machines.
