all I can say is that my ARM processor (Tegra 3, 1.66 ) is faster than a core i3 x86 processor.but not nearly as powerful, speed is not everything. However, hands down flat out quad core Terra 3 & 4 it is capable of running a Windows 7 virtual machine so I'm pretty sure that they would (one day) have a way to emulate an x86 program from 1999 like I said there's a lot of computer games that already run on the ARM processors. I don't look for it to be anytime soon but you never know. Look at dosbox for android...... Runs all dos based based games flawlessly.and emulates the x86 denpendicies... But diver is right, xp and up OS's can be emulated poorly (at best) at the moment....and still require too many denpendicies. But have you checked the next gen 8 core tegra chips looks promising...... I agree with holy diver on this one, let's just use the ouya for WHAT it is a smartphone TV device :-) and build SoM on computers, not tablets and phones ? However playing completed som titles would be nice one day. ML
