Different models of the EEEPC have different hardware.

The one I'm potentially interested in is the EEE-PC 1000 (the Linux version
with the 40gb flash storage). I would be interested to know how well Orca
performs on this hardware, especially under Debian.

It has a 1.5ghz x86 processor, and they're available with 1gb of RAM, which is
what I would choose these days as a minimum.
