Before I noticed that the compositor on my desktop was set to software instead of OpenGL like I wanted, I had noticed it was considerably slower than I had experienced in the past (when it WAS set to OpenGL). I do have dense text, the odd web page, but not lots of windows on a desktop. Flash I usually try to avoid so not much experience with it. I'd not call it unusable though. No tearing, but I had vsync turned on for what it's worth. This is on 3.2GHz AMD four core with more than enough RAM, so My Mileage May Vary. I don't run X on that x486 I mentioned, so I can't compare. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
