I thought it was something crazy like you need atleast an geforce FX5200 just to run longhorn at a decent speed... Perhaps that's the problem? Maybe it's doing all the directX in software and making it take twice as long...but I'm not really a windows or longhorn expert, so I may just be talking out my a**. Atleast it installs though right ? ;) Doug Darryl Dixon wrote: > Hi All, > > Just for giggles I ran an install of Longhorn build 4074 on CVS Qemu > today with kqemu.
