OK plenty of us have enough ram and cycles to run it, but why bother when we can use firefox or another alternative? :shrug:

I got it on here now at work, its using the new way to render javascript but beta 2 is a bloated pile of crap.

Acid test 3:

The new google chrome has 79/100
Firefox 3 got 74 but 3.1 will be 100 apparently, some of the nightly builds have got this.
Safari has 75/100
Latest opera actually crashes.
IE 8 beta 2 gets to 12/100 lags out then jumps to 24 and then stops.

Nice, it went right down after they added some of the new features so I suppose they will tweak it back up I suppose. Chrome though does render the final imag.
