I have not personally used them. However, for some time I considered
purchasing
a Lindows laptop (to wipe the drive and install Debian) that had a 1 GHz VIA
CPU. All the benchmarks I looked at put the 1 GHz VIA at about the same level
as a 400 - 500 MHz Pentium. I believe it was something to do with cache and
pipelining. But, there is no way even a P2-400 could come close to 30W.
