It was designed for a Dragon Ball. 386-25 smokes a dragonball as you
probably know :). Sean Barnes has been working on it with a NEC
VR4181-66Mhz and its very peppy. (Agenda runs X on the same
processor) In any event, as far as the embedded world is concerned,
a 386-25 is not that slow of a processor. (Unless your a spoiled
StrongARMulite)
The only shaky thing about it is sounds like you're running pretty
high resolution, comparitive with other devices anyway. More screen
means more CPU calculating those bits for the most part.
Thanks,
Shane Nay.
