It does work, but if you start opening many windows in various workspaces things start to get really slow. With just one window on-screen it's usually fine in lower class hardware like that. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of shared memory.

Obviously, if I will test a DE I will not use, I'll just test it works OK and it is stable and fast for non intensive tasks, as that is what the actual user (my friend, I don't mean it general) will do with Linux. Also, he uses medium to high gamma hardware, so the only concern I had was about stability :P

The animations lag, menus are slow to load (especially the main menu). Its just all around sluggish on a machine that should be able to run it fine.
