How do I know that? On the sidebar of yours, it says XP, and basically, most people with another partition or drive with a XP label usually means that there's another OS in there

On the average PC, I've seen disastrous performance. My P4 system is actually able to keep up, but not as fast...and without the Sound Blaster Live!

The second PC ran it horribly. The third hasn't been tried, but it won't be either

If I compare my most performent PC to yours, yours hits 5.3, while mine hits 4.6. If I had a 7800GS, the CPU would bottleneck the score at 5.2
