The 6200 is a transitional model.  It makes the PowerPC Upgrade Card
sound at startup rather than the 6100's Stanley Jordan chord, and its
motherboard apparently runs at half the 75MHz of the CPU.

I think Apple must have made too many motherboards for the 630 and then
killed its market by going to PowerPC, so they had to cobble together a
630-based PowerMac to get rid of them.  So it's not surprising it feels
a bit under-Powered.  It was good value for money though, so I'm still
pleased with it.
