I just based it roughly from ByteMark tests on the n800, though this was when it was clocked at 330MHz

So maybe at 400MHz, it would be similar to a Pentium II 300MHz - 350MHz

My main point is that one really needs to look at some kind of comparison to a desktop machine, just because something runs XP or Linux doesn't mean it can run anything made for XP or Linux. So many people seem to have some overblown expectations for these devices.

For example OSEmuTech main goal seems to be running Maple, well Maple 12 minimum requirements are for a 650MHz Pentium III with 512MB, which tells me that Maple is probably going to absolutely suck on the Everun and probably on the WiBrain as well. You could go back to an older version, in fact I think only Maple 8 or earlier would run well on either device as Maple 9 requires a minimum of 650Mhz pentium III.
