machines that run unity just fine. with geforce cards like 5700 7600gs and a
5200. My main desktop has the 7600 and 2 gigs of ram my wife's has the 5700
and 1 gig of ram and the kids has the oldest setup and it runs unity fine as
well. All this babble about how it won't run or work is poppycock. If you
are gonna talk nonsense wait til the final release install and see what it
does then. I also have a laptop with a 8200 mobile nvidia with 2 gigs and it
runs unity just fine too. I personally run xfce, mimic or xmonad on my
machines but that is personal choice more than the fact the things don't
work.
