Hi,
I just got a new mboard+CPU and display adapter, and either something's
really, really wrong about them or I've been hainging around with ALPHAs
too much.
This thing just seems... slow.
I used to have a CyrixP166 (at 133MHz), 32megs RAM and a Cirrus Logic...
uh, 5446 is it? with 2megs.
No I've got an Intel MMX 200MHz, 48megs RAM and a Diamond Stealth/S3
ViRGe, also with 2MB.
And, well, I really barely see any difference at all, except the BogoMis
went from 133 to 400. There's a marginal improvement in things, but
really, I'd expect the OpenGL modes in xlockmore to actually move somewhat
more smoothly...
Is it me or should I take this thing back to the store?
Bye,
-Yaron.
