Minimal jitter = good desktop.

Reducing jitter seems central for many things.
First of all keypresses seem faster. (less jitter = less latency).
Doom 3 and similar jittersensitive OpenGL applications run smoothly, and better than windows. Doom 3 was also my main app to get running well, and measuring jitter in the signalpath of OpenGL improved the overall computing experience.

Even youtube videos who are not synced to refresh, with a refresh of 60, and a videofps of 30, runs quite well. http://paradoxuncreated.com/Blog/wordpress/?p=3221

System is responsive, and I have only had one problem, and that is packing seems not to work at the moment.

For a fast test in Ubuntu, try http://paradoxuncreated.com/Blog/wordpress/?p=2268

Definately a recommended config on the desktop.

Peace Be With You.
