For multimedia stuff it's totally slow (and don't try GNOME on it - it got 
some serious problems with GTK and GTK-2. I didn't say it - Alan Cox 
mentioned it on redhat's lists). If you're thinking about making a PVR with 
it - it's a bad idea.

The Duron 1200Mhz + EliteGroup board combo (non upgradable but got all the 
stuff you need for) costs about $90-$100. How much Via C3 costs?

Via (which got serious problems with their USB [ohci]) does update their 
drivers most of the time and is considered "Linux friendly" hardware vendor..
