Keep in mind that the transmeta CPUs are, by modern standards,
very, very slow. If you need something along the lines of even 1
GHz P3 processing power, no Transmeta CPU is going to deliver it.

(That's not to say that they don't have their place; I love my
Transmeta machine. But that's because it's a full-function computer
that weighs hardly over a kilogram. :-))
