Eventually they will be as fast as a current desktop computer, but it will take some years. ... by which time desktop computers and the expectations of software for them will have grown even more hungry! The CPU and memory specs of the EEE PC (any version) would have been quite decent for a 1999 desktop computer buyer. I got a 633 Mhz Celeron system at that time with 256K RAM, and it was plenty for the typical OS'es (both Windows and Linux) and applications of the time.

256K RAM in 1999? 256Mb, surely ;)
"machines are still getting faster" Posted Jan 17, 2009 21:12 UTC (Sat) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] Yes, of course 256Mb. Actually I used it at home until 2 years ago (with the minor upgrades of adding a DVD burner and changing the Celeron to the corresponding Pentium III, giving a slight speedup).
