It simply sucks, i can't play 10.6 Games on 10.8.. Apple can do it better, for sure, but they give a fuck on customers.

my VIA C7-D 1,6Ghz Machine struggles with webbrowsing these Days 😒 the C3 should struggle even more because of the lack of sse2. The ECS P6STP-FN has often problems with capacitors. i also have one with dead capacitors 😀

Check with GPU-Z if you have a 64bit Card, then you will get sublimal performance 😒 Does your PCB have free places to solder RAM Chips on it ? i have the 9550 256Mb with 128bit Interface.
