My laptop is a 1.4ghz first generation Centrino. I can set the processor speed as low as 600 MHz to save battery life, and a few settings in between as well as automatically adjusting it for me. Anyways, when I force it to operate at a constant 600 MHz, flash videos can be choppy during playback, but at 1.4 GHz they are fine. Since RAM, programs, et. al. do not change, this definitely means 600 MHz is the limiting factor. I'm going to go out on a limb and say your Via C7 shouldn't experience any problems playing flash videos, but as we all know, there is no substitute for testing
