Bought this in May 2011

And...what I have done.

First off, is I put a 2GB DDR3-1066 RAM stick in. This netbook will support up to 4GB.

Then I removed the thermal pad from the APU, and put some AS5 on the chip between it and the heatsink.

I removed the 4 screws behind the keyboard, so now you can access the bottom panel with ease (hdd, RAM, etc) The bottem panel still snaps in to place easily and securely

I also made recovery DVD's, which are included so you don't have to waste the 30 minutes making them

I played Portal. Yes, this netbook will play games.

It also has HDMI output, and has no issues play a 1080p .mkv output over HDMI to a TV. So, you could easily turn this into a htpc with a nice 2TB external hard drive

Windows 7 starter sucks, but I also ran Ubuntu with no issues.

1280x720 resolution. None of that Intel restricted 1024x600 res. This netbook supports HD resolutions, and the HDMI out will do 1920x1080 movies without issue.

I know GPU acceleration is all the rage these days, but I'm really surprised the 1GHz processor doesn't still slow the system to a crawl.... that said, I'd buy it if I had the cash.

it's dual core, and today's 1GHz CPU's are a lot faster than back when AMD Thunderbird's were in all our PCs (durons for the cheap folks )

I wasn't ever fortunate enough to own an AMD T-bird I went straight from a 533MHz Celeron to an AthlonXP 1800+ my senior year of high school.

good seller!

Fun fact: the Intel Atom has approximately the same compute power as an Athlon XP. We've come a long way.
