No bigger than a laptop battery, the MCC is a high performance, fully functional PC with a highly efficient design. It includes a Crusoe TM5800 processor at 800 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and moving to 1 GHz, 10 gigabytes of storage, 256 megabytes of RAM, 3-D graphics, a disk drive and up to 12 hours of battery life. The MCC, measuring just 3" x 5" x 3/4" and weighing less than nine ounces, is designed to plug into various accessories, including laptops, hand-held screens and head gear. Downloading is eliminated, as the core device will automatically identify and adapt its system to accessories. It has the capability to run the Linux, Windows XP The previous client version of Windows. XP was a major upgrade to the client version of Windows 2000 with numerous changes to the user interface. XP improved support for gaming, digital photography, instant messaging, wireless networking and sharing connections to the Internet. or Windows 2000 operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and the MCC's energy efficient Crusoe processor An x86-based CPU chip from Transmeta that is designed for Internet appliances and other handheld devices that require batteries. It consumes significantly less power than mobile x86 chips from Intel, AMD and others because it places more of the processing burden on the software. makes it ideal for portable applications, as no fan is required.
