MIPS XBurst performance?

2009-05-18 Thread Peter B 

I have seen some really low-weight, cheap laptops that use the:
  MIPS XBurst 400 MHz CPU.

Does it perform well ..?

An Intel Celeron 900 MHz Will do mpeg4 (divx/h264), is this CPU likely to
do that aswell ..?

Probably not without specialized decoding hardware. OTOH it depends on
the resolution of the video stream.

I don't think you can count on running FreeBSD on such hardware out of
the box - they are usually specialized solution and cannot be considered
generic consumer products as far as operating systems are concerned.
