Are you sure you got the better box? It's got more CPU than a 3000/25,
but unless the video RAM is on the motherboard and not going through the
slow slow slow IBM-PC bus the overall system is likely to be slower for
X work. Have you compared the X speed of the two boxes?
If anything, X is the big reason to go with the 3000 rather than a [34]86
box.
