I swear by my Q650, but then I've never used a Q700. One note about the
Q650, when I bought it years ago, it was labeled as a 33mHz, not 66.
Running a program like Clockometer also reads it to be a 33mHz.
Also, for some reason I can't run X at 832x624, but only 640x480, which I
used to be able to do with MADHATTER#40.
