Not being a gamer, at least on a PC, why would you care about the 
multitasking to run a game??  Wouldn't you just be playing one 
game at a time?  This is a question, not flame-bait.

For me, games are played with a games machine, I just never have 
been totally impressed with PC games, at least since the Atari's 
and C-64's disappeared.
