This is a Sony PCG-C1VE Picturebook, 600Mhz Transmeta CPU, 192 MB Ram running Windows 7.
Obviosely a bit of cheating - I just intalled the latest Citrix Rceiver and connected to my XenDesktop Farm.
So I can still use the underspced PC which has a fantastic formfactor and leverage the power of a mulitcore computer running XenServer to run the latest andd gratest software.

  • Can it run Crysis?

  • @ttMikee It'0s based on a "cruse" chip and probably has one of the weakest ATI Mobility cards.... I played Quake and Dungeon Keeper II just fine ;-)

  • edrawingsviewer Just a demotool...

  • @All: Obviosely this is not native ;-). Yes the carouse chip was one of these power saving - like sped step - type of CPU's. Linus Torvald was one of the heads behind this company.... hmm however I had a hard time to get Windows XP stripped down to run smoothly (with 192MB) on that device. It came with Millennium pre-installed. After XP worked I just installed the Citrix Online Plugin and connected to my hosted windows 7 dekstop (VDI).

  • Embedded software developers will like lightweight solutions, such as older Ubuntu Karmic Kaola and earlier, some of those distributions came with XFCE. It's quite powerful indeed, supports animated background, very handy with some Mac style laucher bar, or the Netbook Starter, ... For those who own this small bit, gOS 7.10 Ubuntu, or MoonOS 8.10 Ubuntu, both not only look great, but also run fast on Pent-III memory as low as 64MB, and please replace this noisy hdd with an ATA SD-Card Adapter...

  • @netwho07 Transmeta Crusoe ... I have a lifebook P1120 with a TM5800 crusoe 800Mhz and radeon graphics (like half a notch up from rage 128 graphics lol) runs Gentoo Linux, XP and Haiku :)

  • @ttMikee hahahaha this game to dual quad core ahahaha

  • Hmmm... I recommend using the Lite version; it's more easier on older machines.

  • Can I buy it from you?

  • This is the future of computing. Carry a small, convenient, low-power device that simply relays info to and from a large, powerful mainframe.

  • is it slow? it seems pretty fast on the video

  • ok WTF how?

  • thats one small screen
