Hi! Just to clarify things: I am running an AGP card, and the computer is extremely slow doing everything, not just X. This includes SCP, SSH, cp, JSP-compiling (Tomcat), etc.
I've never experienced a computer being slower than this. When I was running on a Celeron 300a (and Nvidia TNT (also AGP)) the entire computer was MUCH faster. Even though I only had half the RAM (128MB) and was running the same HD's... Best regards, Runar Bell PS I have checked the BIOS on the motherboard and verified that the system bus and multiplier are correct. (System bus = auto = (133MHz) and multiplier = 7,5) On Wed, 26 Mar 2003, Ben Russo wrote: > Kent Pirkle wrote: > > >I've heard it said that the Via C3 is comparable to a Celeron of 50-60% > >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.
