The same thing applies to Windows Vista. Why the heck does it need 2Gb of ram to display a taskbar? I recently installed Vista on a dual-core laptop and it's rubbish. It's waaaaay slower than my old desktop with Windows XP.
Well said. And as for Crysis, it's not the "über cool" graphics that make it run slow, it's the [insert the size of the island here] frigging island! A mission takes place usually in maybe a 1/4 area of it, the rest of the area is there for nothing, eating up your resources. This worked in FarCry as you could wander around the place, but Crysis doesnt allow it, so what's the point. Anyways, enough OT from me.
