    Hey, the reason my Windows box has the Celeron-400 & 128Mb of RAM and my
Linux box is the P5-100 w/64Mb of RAM...  Half-Life + Counter-Strike, Unreal
Tournament + Slave Master & Dark Magic (Quake sucks, btw, iD hasn't made a
decent game since Doom.  Nice engines, though), Homeworld, Chron-X, Stars!
Supernova (when it is released), etc.

    Most people scoff at games, though.  Most don't realize that it is games
alone that has been driving the /real/ need of faster CPUs and more RAM.
