I was looking through the computer section at walmart and noticed that they had some systems (refurbished?) based on a Via CPU. I think it was a C7-D.

Have any of those shown up on the project. It would be interesting to see how they perform. I looked them up and they have a TDP of 20 watts at 1.8GHz. They're supposed to have a 16 stage pipeline with a full speed FPU and support for SSE2 and SSE3. It'll be interesting to see what HR group they fit in, or if they need one of their own.

I saw a report on another project that said these CPUs still had a poor FPU although they are better than the previous VIA models.
