    From what I have seen from running Opera over the years (was a total convert since 8.5) is that one of its' consistent nature is a lower memory footprint and yes it even runs on our old 128megs XP Box.

    Would you honestly want only 500Mhz in your laptop? But it would be great if handheld devices could have this much power though, preferably on something like a mini sized tablet (or an over-sized iPhone).
