Back on subject of Matt pointing out these cheap PC's on offer. There is one review below the article that says something about Wine/Cedega and the PC on offer being a fast PC. Well I think not necessarily as the CPU is cheap but slow. Here's
a French article comparing the C7 to a PIII apart from being a 'carbon free cpu' the C7-D does feature nothing substantially different from an Intel or AMD CPU...it is very much like the C3 and offers the same types of flaws that the C3 predecessor had: mainly a slow FPU (which does bring back memories like old AMD-K6 days). Linux and multi media applications benefit from a fast FPU so a computer featuring this type of CPU will not fly in the multimedia world and will give a poorer performance - also in Linux. So according to this article the C7 compares to a good pentium III which is very capable of DivX/mp3 playback, decoding HD material might prove to be another thing though. But it would still be a nice little machine to have in my opinion.
