I just hate it when you can type in OpenOffice faster than the computer can display it ... The PII333 runs XPHome with OpenOffice and performs well - also can play stuff like DoD, QuakeIII and CS on it very well On a PIII500 with 256MB RAM & TNT2 - X was good. Remember - X is the basis behind it all and X is ... a 'tad' slow :-) It was designed by a committee - not designed to be fast -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
