is re-releasing its flagship computer, this time with all the amenities of a modern-day computer packed inside.

has been souped up for the modern age. It comes with a 1.8 gigahertz dual-core processor, an optional Blu-ray player and built-in ethernet and HDMI ports. It runs the Linux operating system but the company says you can install Windows if you like.

I wonder how big the processor is?

Sorry a C-64 OS can not run a modern computer and all it is a shell that look and feel like a C-64.

See that part of the story that had been posted here.

It's just a novelty PC, a perfectly normal mini-ITX PC with a dual core Atom CPU, stuffed inside a replica of the original Commodore 64 case. You can make it run a C64 emulator at boot time, but it isn't really a Commodore 64.
