Raspberry PI 2B as Desktop PC Really?

[charger73]

In this moment I try to connect a PIL Box with a raspberry Pi B+... (With GNU C++ compiler. At the moment I fight with the GPIO lib for C++ and the 3.3V level)

For me this system is a little bit slow, they say it runs like a Pentium II with
700Mhz.

But anyway, I like this system too. A very cheap tool for programmers and hacker ;-)
Something like a good old "home computer"

Best regards
