I've heard it said that the Via C3 is comparable to a Celeron of 50-60%I'm not familiar with the motherboard models, but I'd bet you are running a
of the clock speed (in your case a 600Mhz Celeron).
My 800MHz C3 doesn't run X, it spends its time acting as mail and web
server and occasional CD-burner. The rest of its idle time is spent
looking for alien life (setiathome), so I can't really comment on how it
would do for a desktop system.

I just installed RedHat 8.0 on a system with the following set-up:
MSI MS-694T Pro Motherboard VIA C3 1GHz (EzraT core) CPU 256MB SDRAM PC133 Vodoo3 Graphics card IBM 20GB HD
And everything is running really really slowly! :( It feels like I am running it on a Pentium 60MHz CPU ...
Have any of you experienced anything like this before? All I hope is that this is possible to solve, and without compiling a new kernel... :)
All help is appreciated! :)
PCI video card?
I have a few PentiumII boxes (350, 400, 450 Mhz) running with PCI video cards,
they definitely feel very slow with X, but are just fine for web servers, file servers,
firewalls, routers, dhcpcd servers, print servers, mail servers, and command line tools.
I would suggest trying a simpler window manager, like maybe windowmaker.
(Since I know that it comes with RH8, and I've used it and it seems to work well,
it is much faster and simpler on older hardware).
