I'm not a hardware maven, but a specialized healthcare project I'm exploring is considering an Atigo S 310LX mobile computer with an AMD Geode LX800 processor to function as the tablet in a backpack intended to support energy-efficient remote-area medical diagnostics and communications. The AMD CPU runs at 500 MHz, with either 512 Mb or 1 Gb of SDRAM and 32 Gb of flash memory, to support the XP (Service Pack 2) TabletPC operating system. As a remote device, albeit with a sun panel to extend battery life, it's important to keep power consumption down, and the AMD CPU only uses 3.6 watts. The challenge is that the medical diagnostics function should include communications and a video application so that a central facility can support remote location scenarios such as, "Can't do anything, need a doctor looking over my shoulder advising me to try this, not that." The questions are whether a 500 MHz processor can handle video at all, and is there any impact on video between the smaller and larger SDRAM options? Any thoughts on this topic are much appreciated!
