    How would the 1000HE rate against the slowest P4 PC , assuming both have 2 gig of Ram ?

    What is the slowest P4 processor ?

    The slowest Pentium 4 would be a Socket 423 1.3GHz Willamette.
    I think its performance would be very close to that of an Atom N270, slightly worse than an Atom N280 (the chip in a 1000HE)

    All of the Atoms fall between a Pentium M 1.1 and a Pentium M 1.2... Honestly, that should run MAME flawlessly. Mine's on a Willamette P4 (1.5GHz) but a good friend of mine is on a Coppermine P3 (800MHz) and he has no issues.

    Here is a comparison based on passmark software. A 1000HE's CPU performance is about the same as a Pentium M 1.4Ghz. Note that netbooks have fast 50-60MB/S harddisks, so they get up to speed quickly.

    Um, no. I'm perplexed as to why you would use the word 'fast.'

    50-60MB/s is standard for a 2.5" SATA HDD. Nothing special here, but compared to the soldered SSD hard drive in some netbooks, the SATA HDD is much faster.

    I should reiterate. "Fast" being a comparison against older 2.5" SATA HDDs delivering 35MB/s performance, 1.8" ZIF SATA/PATA hdds in some ultraportables delivering 20-32MB/s and as mentioned, faster than standard pci-e SSDs in most netbooks. So as a comparison against such units, a 2.5" equipped netbook might have a slower CPU than an older notebook or an ultraportable, but it's HDD will bring it up to speed quicker. So on balance, may feel faster.

    I would look at SuperPi, 3Dmark06 CPU, and Cinebench.
