Works fine. I've never tried an all-Zenith solution, so I can't say what the performance differences, if any, are. Norton's SI reports a computing index on my machine of 17.6. I upgraded the original 8-bit VEGA VGA to a 16-bit Farenheit 1280 card when I got Windows 3.1. It makes the window painting faster, but overall, I agree with the other posters; you'd be better off getting a new, faster machine. Even with the Farenheit card, Windows is just plain poky; window painting is a small part of what it does. Windows on my Zenith 386SX/20 at home is noticeably faster, as is my Zenith 386SL laptop. I plan to upgrade this machine soon.
