Also in the last few weeks, I picked up a Jetway VIA C7 1ghz ITX board from eBay and bought an ITX case to put it in. It works a lot better than their C3 chips ever did. I compare it to a 1ghz P3 or Celeron.

I have a C7 based NetBook, the HP 2133. I personally think it's a tad generous to compare it to a similarly clocked P3 (I don't think the machine feels much if any faster than the old 650Mhz P3 Dell Latitude I had... ten years ago. Granted it may be because the Linux drivers for the chipset video are complete crud.), but... as long as you're not using it to watch video or play Flash it's a perfectly good CPU. ;^)
