Different economy buys different speed in computers? No one wants the slowest computers for their future generation(to stifle their growth potential)?

Looking at the Brazilian education system computer purchase, you know their economy had already set their course a few years back; and they are happy with their own destiny, one Debian 4.0 Etch server supporting four expensive multimedia terminals to slow it down; instead of using internet and appliance on SOA(service oriented architecture of enterprise communication computer system)?

In the far east, they have Geode cpu in internet appliance at about 500 mhz to sell to Africa and also as toys for the developed countries.

In Africa, they are still proud to sell 200 mhz computers using old Puppy Linux as operating system. Nothing wrong with that concept at all. But the future of Africa deserves better.

So, ASUS Eee Pc with Intel cpu rejects running at 900 mhz has the future planned at 2 ghz(best of the breed at present). Migration to better cpu is just a motherboard upgrade? This escapes OLPC thinking, maybe lower core voltage can squeeze more speed out of geode cpu? Classmate is just a copy of OLPC, but also can migrate to 2 ghz easily, even today.

The future of computer sales depends much on production efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing process(less rejects). Sad but true, that we have to help Intel and AMD to get better production process, and application savviness to supply computers to underdeveloped nations cheap and at fastest speeds, too?
