- Basically, an unaccelerated 500 with a 1080 monitor is what I run 2.04 on.
- I'll agree that 2.04 is pretty slow on some things ... I do like the better

- Makes sense. Right now, I'd think that companies will have a hard time
- selling stuff that only works under 2.0x. Except for big apps that only
- work well on stuff like 3000s.
