One of the best things about SomEx is that it allows game users to change game preferences.

7 is SOM's native mode* You want 9 for performance. SOM is very slow on low-profile gaming boxes because modern day gaming works on the GPU so the CPUs are often much weaker than CPUs were when SOM was released in 2000. Not to mention SOM is single-threaded, so it uses only one CPU and nowadays CPUs are much weaker because they work cooperatively.
My XP box is pretty new. Its CPUs are effectively 800Mhz. My primary goal right now is to get SOM games running smoothly on this class of machinery. Basically PCs built for applications, not computationally-intensive-video-game-like OS's like Windows Vista/8. I'm quite happy spending $150 or less for a CPU-GPU-mainboard combo myself. Bygone are the days when each of those components would set you back 150$.
*EDITED: Besides, I don't make a point of maintaining 7. So it's likely to have bugs that go unnoticed for months if not years.
