A Via is nice, but seriously underpowered. PLaying DVD uses up to 80-90%
of CPU and let's not even talk about playing RealVideo. That's even
worst. It won't even play smoothly!!
Nice Form Factor though. What's nice would be the new Omega-sd boxes
using a Pentium M chip.
Now, that would be Absolutely great.
