      @thelostsoul yea, you got it now. If it passes the quake 3 test you can be pretty confident that it will handle anything. You don't need to test using NES, SNES etc. because these systems don't work your pi very hard.

        @quicksilver Sorry if I ask again something. :|
        And what about these systems, if I use shaders? I use shaders and some of them slows down extremely. Off course, i don't use the slow ones, but can this be used as a test too? Does this cover anything, Quake 3 don't?

          @thelostsoul as I understand it shaders utilize your CPU, so as long as you have done stability testing for your CPU you are fine. Quake 3 pushes your CPU, GPU, and RAM pretty hard so I think you are fine.
