Well said Bill, and adding my 2 cents. Most of the world is used to an application experience as presented by Msft software archeborg Bill Gates. (Piggy clunky and slow) Now in small web devices or tablets, well on Linux you might be able to get by with 100% of the computing power of an Intel486-66.
SEE WEB tablet. transmeta.com
So I'd guess that the computing power of the TM3120 that runs 333-400MHz is at least as capable as the 1996 200Mhz pentium pro or a Pentium II or celeron at 350 to 400 Mhz.

SEE: transmeta.com all specs.

Now under Linux when using a lean window manager and the fastest Xserver what is a 200 MHz Pentium Pro capable of.

Two display's each with 10 desktops and with up to 20 or 30 browser windows open and some graphical apps, a spread sheet and word processing. Any App on any desk is up and live in less than one second even if I'm ftping and copying from a floppy and cdrom all at once.
Now this is my idea of stuff ta make ya productive. watman.com

hmmm... it's 9:00 est time and my web provider is working on his server, so the stuff and other watman pages won't be up for... well dey said an hour.

watman.com is also about how I do this.
