How slow can you go?

Go into your bios and find out!

I find an older dual core system can be slowed down to ~1.2 GHz, and still play YouTube and MythTV full screen quite well.

An older system, so not HD.

Cool!, My system does not overheat any more ;)

using Firefox 3.6 running Wine on Fedora 14, the plugin installs and runs.

currently have to tell firefox to "open with firefox".

need to fix that.
