Indeed. Just wanted to clarify it a bit that if you have a machine that scores 900-something on GeekBench 2 that's optimistically going to translate to more like a 90 on GeekBench 3, so in raw CPU throughput at least that Acer is very possibly ten times faster than a PBG4. Of course, if it's all loaded down with Windows **apware and feels like it's made out of melted down dollar store spatulas it still might not be a very satisfying computer.
Personally I'd slap Lubuntu on it for grins and see if enough of the hardware is recognized for the machine to be usable, since that plus Chrome should make a perfectly swell web computer, a statement I base on the fact that the aforementioned T43 is actually almost 100% okay for web use and is less than 1/5th as fast. (Only thing it won't do is play Youtube videos full screen very well. They're fine in a window. Fan comes on nice and loud, but...)
