Come off it!  A P200 is more than ample for X.  It's even fine for a
big desktop like KDE or gnome *iff* you've got the memory.

Now when I first ran X on 1980s Sun and HP boxes, that was slow!
X only really became acceptable when I got an upgrade to a sparc
processor (386 in Intel terms) with 4Mb RAM.
