and xorg 6.8 is even faster!!..I did suspect there was a flash stability connection but never found anything definate but did just drop it in as a test with no apparent problems that were not fixed with the odd symlink. The speed up with older X servers is not limited to gtk2 either....the tktcl bubble test showed something resembling a 50% difference....anything X11 related...xv seems unaffected....the rule of thumb seems to be if you don't need the updates don't use them.plus the older X-server has extras built into that allows Firefix 3.5 to run at 100%, where as any series 4 would run at around 70%.

BUT, an update! That board now has an AMD K6-III+ 450mhz chip on it. Wow, what an infinitely better chip that is! The best part is that it's supposed to run at 100mhz X 4.5, but I've got it running at 112mhz X 5.5! That's 616mhz out of a chip rated at 450! The funny part is, it's perfectly stable that way. Not a fuss in any way. It runs cool (relatively; I've got a heatsink rated to 1.4ghz on it 
) and it makes NO complaint about anything! The Hardinfo benchmarks I am getting are astonishing! I did move everything off the board though: PCI video and audio, as the onboard components are not exceptionally good, and raising the PCI bus speed a few mhz makes some things a bit unhappy. But I've found network, audio, and video cards that are happy at 37.x mhz rather than 33, and boy is that a fun system! More because of what it represents than anything else, as even though I've overclocked it 35%, it's still only a tad over 600mhz, which is definitely not a screamer by modern standards.
