Most likely it uses standard SODIMMs (laptop memory)... that's what the one's I looked at several months ago were using.

Also is it Transmeta Course or Transmeta Crusoe? 😉

 
thats a good price, i think the other tablets are retardly priced...but ive never heard of this cpu either :confused, and it needs some mo' ram!
 
The tablet sounds like a good idea in theory, but in practice it sucks. I am an IS guy, and we recently setup a tablet for one of our users (we had a compaq, but it is the same processor and same specs, basically).

Anyway, the thing runs so slow that by the end of the installs I wanted to chuck it down the stairs. When you hit the start button, it takes like 2 seconds (literally) for the menu to pop up. If you look at the task manager, it maxes out the processor just to open the start menu. At idle with 5 or 6 IE windows open, you end up eating 50-60% of resources just to sit there and do nothing.

Like I said, the tablets sound like a good idea, but I wouldn't touch one with a 20 foot pole until they put better processors in them and the price comes down. The only way I would even consider this thing is for a car pc, and only if I wanted to run one thing at a time. Even then, for $1k, you could build yourself a nicer car PC IMHO.
 
I have the Toshiba Tablet PC, and I have tried the Compaq. I agree that the Compaq, with its Transmeta CPU, is really a dog. The Toshiba has a 1.2Ghz P4 and it's snappy enough. TPCs aren't for everyone, but in certain applications it's exactly the right tool for the job.
