AMD 700 based CPUs? The very slowest AMD 700-based CPU is a far sight faster than the fastest currently released Atom. Really, they're incomparable. The Atom's original performance target was a Pentium II after all.

Maybe a Pinetrail/Tegra 2 based tablet would be tolerable. I'd consider giving something like that a try. But the example linked for this thread is going to be a painful experience with anything beyond browsing the web. Even that would be awful if you needed to access flash-heavy sites. And sure, PSP would work, but it would be very slow. It probably wouldn't even keep up with tool actions. But if that's not a problem... well I'd recommend you at least be sure you can return the thing.
