the ECS Desknote i-Buddie A530

hi guys, wondering about this unit -- it says it has a 1.1 gig transmeta crusoe processor -- is this slower than a celeron? how slow if ever and i know it generates less heat?

plus its video card is a "256bit 3D graphic engine, supports up to 143MHz 3D engine clock." What's this tnen? My friend says the desknote in question cant play video fromgames (intro of warcraft for instance but it can run the game itself..slow).

i know this aint a notebook -- its a Desk-Note, but im wondering how far can this baby be stretched since its very affordable.
