How did the graphics cards on the 3100-98s compare with those supplied 
with the early Alphas?

That may sound like an apple and oranges question, but when I had a 
3100-38 I could happily use VNC on it to control a PC, but my PWS 600au
with an Elsa Gloria card gave unacceptable response times using VNC into 
the same PC.
