I was using it to run Linux on an emulated handheld device that I was
working on. It ran at about 20% of the CPU speed, which was not too bad.
For example, a 1gHz PIII ran it equivalent to a 200mHz PI.
A 3.2 gHz PIV or equivalent would run fast enough to watch most low res
videos.
I should be noted that while Windows>=2000 will not run on anything
less powerful than 533 mHz PIII, Linux runs fine on older/ outdated
hardware. So 200 mHz is enough. You can also understand how much
better Linux runs on borderline hardware than Windows. That's
something to consider when one thinks that he needs to purchase a new
computer to run a 'better' operating system.
