QUOTE(idoblu @ Aug 8 2009, 04:49 PM) I also still undecided which is better since now revo has dual core as well.. Good points going for the revo for me is got esata, more ram, licenced windows. Bad points - no optical out. No optical drive. Could possibly be hotter than asrock since only one fan. whats the point of the dvd drive. 90% of the people are using it for watching avi, mp4, mkv files that are downloaded. even if they gave me a bluray drive i wont use it much since the media is soo expensive. to install s/w i would burn the dvd iso to my usb thumb drive and install from it. |

I second that. If i want a DVD player, i just buy an RM90 DVD player. But some people might want BluRay if they can afford it. I've installed Windows 7 into my ATOM PC recently from the thumb drive.  Windows 7 really shines on a slow machine like the ATOM, it works much faster than VISTA and i still can enable Aero with good performance. |

If you have a modern dual core CPU say 2Ghz+ C2D or AMD X2, the speed difference between VISTA and Win7 is not so significant. But on a slow machine like ATOM, I have to disable Aero to get decent speed in VISTA because the crappy integrated Intel GMA GPU makes the Aero lags. With Win7, i can enable the fancy Aero without suffering from performance penalty and get decent speed. |
