I got the high end hardware specs from pc gamer. it's the specs for
what they estimate is a $600-700 machine. that's the low end. The
issue was a month or 2 old. and I cut some specs off but I needed to
pic a video card. but yes those machines are to show off newer stuff.
not scrolling games. which we could have on the TS if we wanted. my
Desktop just meets the lower end system specs coming ahead with a
little more memory. unfortunately linux sometimes needs more system
specs for gaming because things like the video cards drivers don't
work as well, and without the extra power it just sucks and is laggy.
I had this experience with nwn1 on linux. it has a native binary but
it ran horribly slow in linux compared to windows on the same machine.

btw a pc gamer high end machine over 3G's I can post the specs later
if you like.
