(it was a 1.8ghz > athlon-xp that was my previous system) I will admit, it's pretty low. My previous system was a 2GHz Athlon XP, and while Flash wasn't instant on there, and occasionally lagged, it worked. That died, and I haven't the means to replace it, so I've been using an old Dell Latitude C610 (1.2GHz P3, 256MB RAM); Flash just utterly fails on here. Well, that's not quite true; if I download a lighter game, and run it in the standalone Flash player as the only X client, it works, but that's not exactly feasible for everything. ~celti
