It's very trouble for user like me to find out what CPU/RAM/hardware.
You can use the Russian Informer system information tool (dated 2001 - newer versions are NOT free and the product has been renamed to ASTRA) from the UDMA page. One of the best free system information tools nowadays is the Hungarian AIDA (http://www.aida32.hu), available for DOS too.
PS: I've found the PRN2FILE from PC Magazine's archive, next time I can give out test result if the process won't hangup the whole PC.
I've got a 624-byte long TSR utility called PRNFILE.COM written here in Varna 10 years ago, which, if loaded, sends every PrintScreen request to a file called C:\PRNFILE.DAT ;-)
What I know is VIA C3 put much effort to reduce heat, for 1GHz CPU it can even work without heatsink, maybe it's the reason for slow.
As it dissipates 10 W or more, it may work without a fan, but not without a heatsink.
Actually, its only the FPU and 3DNow or SSE units that are slow in the C3, otherwise it's as fast as a Pentium III. The Centaur processors have less number of transistors and simpler architecture. Their design philosophy is "KISS" = ("Keep it simple, stupid") and I like it ;-)
