BTW, there are some crazy gaming companies around pushing for 
centralized rendering for games:  you render the games in your servers 
and then push the graphics and sounds onto users' screens, this way 
actually subdisizing the hardware and making it irrelevant so that users 
can play in any event.  I wonder about the latency and fail whales...
