Though looking at the system requirements list, Adobe suggest a minimum of a PII-450[1] while the Aware machines are 486-compatibles at 300MHz max[2]. Out of interest, does anyone know which version of the x86 instruction set the Adobe flash plugin is compiled for? If it uses MMX, for instance, a 486 won't cut it no matter how quick it is.
