After using it for few days:
I can feel the "handicap" after switching from Intel Core2Duo 2.26 to Intel Atom 1.6 G, the feeling is like, it is changing/reducing my preference level on entertainment side such as movie/anime quality.
For your info, this netbook as the explanation implies, no problem for office work and some entertainment by its specs, regardless 1GB or 2GB. But for movie/anime viewing, when playing HD or even HQ video files, its ATOM processor cant follow up the processing.
Samples for testing
1 episodes of anime(HD/HQ) = 23 mins = 300-350 MB ==> voice are actually faster than video motion quite a while, and it needs 2 DVD for storage for a complete set of episodes per anime.
1 episodes of anime(low/medium) = 23 mins = 120-150 MB ==> smooth
So basically 24 episodes of an anime for medium quality is about 4GB< sizes < 4.5G = 1 single layer DVD = convenient for storage
Although the quality of view is dropped considerably, but it kinda "forcing" me to collect and burn anime into a more organized, and cheaper manner.
I still need a external burner and a CD/DVD emulation software for games and DVD burning, which cost me around:
RM100(for alcohol 52%, for window 7, purchase online)
RM200(for most of the external burner)
I need some help from all the HP mini fans, someone can provide an alternatives for free CD/DVD emulation software without trial period imposed (totally free, compatible with window 7 starter edition) ?

I see, but after all the machine done the main processing is your PS3, not your mini, praise HP mini pulak as if it can play HD/HQ smoothly  Yes upgrading to 2GB ram is quite a difference in speed of loading your program faster. Though multi process run concurrently still have to depend on the ATOM 1.6Ghz's delay LOL... |
