With Vista it is, as is many things with less than dual core. It would fly with a decent Linux distro installed, though. Even a 1 GHz P3 with 256 MB I still have runs pretty fast for most apps and looks pretty. Android is lighter than a typical Linux distro, which is infinitely lighter than Vista. A phone would fly with less than half those specs on that $200 pc. Think about it. The software a device runs can be just as important as raw power, especially in small devices.
