OTOH I'm running an older laptop using fc2 & FC3 T1/T2 (Compaq Armada
M700, 320 something RAM, PIII 550) and it has been just fine. Slower
than my desktop but still far more responsive than my work laptop on
XP (P4 1.2 Ghz/512 RAM).  I did notice a perceived (not measured)
performance decrease w/ FC2 Vs. FC1 but FC3 T2 brought back a snappier
'feel'. Slick :). 'Nuf said.
As always, YMMV.
