Yes, so much so that I'm going through the pain of upgrading my desktop... now quad core / 8GB. Sounds like Microsoft requirements! I find that the ease of using elasticfox (with multiple Amazon accounts) outweighs any other hassles... On a slightly side note. Is LMDE really this cr@p?? I thought I should move on from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but I'm bitterly regretting it. Started with squeeze, but it wouldn't even recognise my nvidia card as such, nor was nvidia support easily downloadable...
