Otherwise the computer (and in particular the pointer device) doesn't keep up." I have a T3100SX, with a 386SX at 16MHz, and the computer has no trouble keeping up. It's a gas plasma display, not an LCD, so the screen changes state quickly (like a low persistence phosphor). Mouse cursor movement is immediate. I love everything about this machine except the fact that Toshiba service put in a hard disk that squeals at 19kHz audio, so now I can't use it, and Toshiba won't fix the problem.
