As far as I know there are significant speed improvements between xorg
and XFree86 servers, but I may be wrong.
I guess CentOS is not suited for desktop machines, you may try your
chance with the upcoming FC4 release. (No, i am not talking about
workstations).
[ Btw, my machine was Athlon XP 2800+ with GeForce FX 5200. Linux
install was smooth as in Windows 95 smooth on a P4. ]
