Will they work? What would be involved in making them work?

I think I saw somewhere their price is in the $2,500.00 range. They sound intriguing, but not in my price range.

They only run at 1 ghz each, so not too exciting. I'm sure it would still put out decent wu and lots of run-time at least.

I may get one or two to test hence my interest in seeing if they will work..Yea, too expensive for me too but I'd like to see exactly what they will do.

If its like the atoms of the past, it should work. They are just like regular CPU cores, just slower. I had a atom netbook that used to run wcg.
