I'm not aware of any. There is my experience with NHL Gamecenter |
| 14 |
Live on my 2007 Dell Inspiron D530 desktop with onboard Intel GPU. The |
| 15 |
initial Gentoo install could not handle even the slowest feed. That was |
| 16 |
the generic i686 code from the initial stage 3. After I ran "emerge |
| 17 |
system" and "emerge world" including the "-march=native" flag it handles |
| 18 |
the lowest speed stream just fine. CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU |
| 19 |
E4600 @ 2.40GHz. |
