Just the opposite. These newer games know how to properly disable or (in
the case of an AV software) work around these 'background tasks'.


So you think a 1.5meg game would stop a machine with 512 megs of ram without
disabling any background tasks or AV software? If this was the case you
damn sure couldn't open a single instance of MS word or IE 5 on this
machine either.
