From what I understand, the flicker is caused by the refresh of CRT monitors. The scanlines go up and down the monitor to refresh. If the speed of refresh is too slow (e.g. 60 Hz), you can visually see those scan lines. Conversely, at a certain speed and above, those scanlines disappear to the human eye.
This thing's more powerful than my old Pentium that I'm using as a router and small webserver right now.. =/ My router is running linux on a 120 MHz box with 32 MB RAM...
For all you tetris people out there, check out TetriNET. It's tetris on the Internet! It has special attack blocks that you can obtain by clearing lines. It also has a pure mode for all you old school people out there. =) Pretty dang addicting.
