I do know how to turn it on. My point was that it *always* seems to be
disabled by default, and I feel I'm always swimming against the current
by stubbornly turning it on. I just want to understand the rationale
behind not having it on by default.

I should have said "contemporary" rather than "modern". What I mean is,
say, an Athlon XP 2600+ 1GB RAM, NVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB. Rather
cheap but reasonably fast stuff.

Cheers
Steffen.
