Lemme show you something. The C-50 is a turd. Here's it's score of 453 at CPUBench: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/low_end_cpus.html The T7400 found in some six year old Thinkpad T60p critters fr'instance pulls over 1,200: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/mid_range_cpus.html Granted, the video chip isn't half bad that's integrated with the C-50. It'll work. But the whole machine is built to a very low price point.
