How slow is Clio 1000 compared 2 1050?

i have used about 10 HPCs. i have never used wince 2 hpc and do not intend 2 do so coz wince2 is very slow handling Chinese (multi-byte characters). I have never used a hpc with a cpu lower than 100mhz.

Now i am buying a Clio 1000. I know CPU Frequency is not everything in HPC's performance, but it at least plays a large role.

I know c-1050 is quite good and c-1000 is definitely slower than 1050. but how slow is c1000 compared 2 c1050?

My goals for c1000. at least not too slow to open up pocket word excel, etc. and haalireader, i suppose. will probably add a cf wifi to it and view some pda/text-only websites on c1000 (in the future coz still no a cf wifi card with good range/receive power)

i know senao sl-2511 ext plus2 is great with 200mw receive power. but 2 difficult 2 find and may be not safe? btw, kinda easy to find a pc card version

i have the senao sl2511cf (cf wifi) and it is great, don't worry about it.. what do you mean by "not safe"?

too much receive power on wifi cards might affect the person's health. u know, radio frequency....

I own a C-1000, but have not been priviledged to having used a C-1050. I will tell you this though, I think the machine is snappy for the hardware inside. The other thing is too, you mention you want to use a CF wifi card with it. This'll be a problem because the CF slot on BOTH the 1000 and 1050 are located in the battery compartment (dumb, I know). The PCMCIA slot is however on the side of the base.

There is at least one other thread asking about the comparison between the C-1000 and the C-1050. The diffs:

C-1000: 80 MHz, 16 MB RAM
C-1050: 168 MHz, 32 MB RAM

Hope this helps.

I have extra 32mb memory cards for 1050. If you want I can send it to you and you can see if it will work in a 1000

yes. i already know that. thanks for ur info.

hmmm, probably have to exclude c1000 for my wifi plan coz 84mhz (? or 80mhz) could not deliver performance in wifi+ Chinese web pages browsing.

CMA371, thanks for ur help. I am living far far away from u and this sounds quite impossible.
