Exclamation Best Gaming Performance Distro?


I have this Computer:
2.26 Ghz proc.
512 MB RAM
80 GB HDD
Nvidia 128 MB graphics
etc.

I would like to use it for playing games like colinmcraerally2005 and needforspeed *, FIFA 200* and others.
What I need to know is what Distro is the best for gaming, I have heard Gentoo i good and I'm going to install it anyways but, then again there might be something better.

If your looking for a tuneable distro the Gentoo may be the way to go. SInce you can tune out all the stuff you will NEVER use.

THe only isue with Gentoo it takes effort to get it set-up the way you want.

THe Gentoo Forum is excelent and you'll always get friendly help

Good Luck and Enjoy
