The only real issue with netbooks is the lack of ram. Who decided that 512mb was fine for most configurations?

However the 1.6GHz Atom processor is fast enough to handle full screen flash video. Mine currently has 1Gb of ram and can run Eclipse plus the Android emulator at a pretty good speed. Compilation is noticeably slower than my MBP, but that's about it.

What netbooks come with only 512 megs? Most of them that I've looked at come with one gig standard, though I upgraded my MSI wind to two gigs.

For the record it's running Ubuntu, with some of the netbook remix packages installed.
