Is that an AMD I see?

Do you know what they going to do about power ? The windup idea was scrapped I hear.

Don't get too exited ... it ain't no Opteron ... 400 Mhz low power Geode processor which is a SOC (System on a Chip) which they bought from National Semiconductor which itself was derived from the Cyrix MediaGX.

Eish, way to spoil my AMD trip tibby...

Seriously, I think this is a great idea but they must do something to get seriously cheap internet access to the masses of children for obvious reasons. Hopefully WiMax can be a solution.

Still, it's an AMD

I've run XP on a 133Mhz CPU......this will do just fine.
