Interesting , considering the price , it would do very well for budget pc's , where the most people do is play movies and surf the net.

The review says the motherboard and processor come for under USD 100 , meaning one could build a CPU for pretty cheap.

Hmm... this is supposed to be about as powerful as a similarly clocked Pentium D CPU.
That makes this very intresting indeed.

Hmm, Via's nano to get a performance boost, as the mobo's they sent as samples for testing had faults which reduced the processors power greatly, so hopes still remain.
