Any of the above listed computers perform well with compiz - some of the stuff out there is awesome! I think I need a better video card though to do most of it.

# VIA P4M800 + VT8237R+ chipset
# Socket 478
I think the main problem with this board is the integrated S3 Unichrome graphics with IGP
Does that Geforce 7100 perform well?
