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. ]

Are you using the x.org driver (nv) or the nvidia one? I've tried nvidia driver with RENDER extension and XFCE development version on __gentoo__, and moving transparent windows were "smooth". However I'd not use such a setup on a serious machine (which CentOS is fine for). (Maybe only the nvidia driver but without the RENDER extension).
I am using the nvidia driver, with XFree86 centos3.4 Moving windows is mostly smooth, not all applications leave traces as X redraws, but I have a dual 3gig machine with a top nvidia card. Also when resizing windows it seems to redraw much slower than windows. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
