Actually i do need help with the NLITED XP installation. I have the how-to article and stuff for installing those, but it requires a CD and burner. So I don't know how to put it into thumbdrive.
And I wish I could buy it from you but I am far away in the west to buy from Malaysia. Maybe I could buy the 2nd gen 9 incher eee PC from you.

Me too me too. But wait, what's the difference between normal ones (or stock or whatever it calls)?
I am waiting for 8th April for the new XP eee PC with the same price $399. So no rush for me but saving more space on eee PC would be great.

Right now I just want to buy the 7incher just so I won't spend anymore money on these cute lil fellas. it's 1024 x 600 and it's multi trackpad. So u can scroll down like those MacBook does (two fingers scroll down or up).

the XP version is coming out here in US @ 9th April. Maybe I'll wait for that. Seems like that bluetooth issue will happen with Nlited XP. I don't really need bluetooth but hey, who knows when it comes in handy.
And probably get more space on SD card later on the road. Maybe for XeNOS ? hehe neway great community here I am proud to join in.

I just received my Windows XP eee PC like few hours ago. Everything is great so far. However, those bloatwares like Microsoft Works Adobe Reader eats up this space up to 3.5 gig +- which is ridiculous. Uninstall those and I got like 1 gig left.
Waiting for my mouse, 2 gig of ram and SD card from newegg. Then, I will be doing those tips from XeNOS like ramdisk stuff and others. Anything I missed and should do with this cutey guys?
Let me know.

Maybe I should do short review for this. Or how-to for some windows hack that might be useful to windows users on eee PC. I am bad when it comes to hardware hack lol.

QUOTE(xeNOS @ Apr 11 2008, 07:55 AM) wow... 399 USD with XP is very cheap bro, great deal!  yup indeed thank you. Mine comes with XP, so how do I do that ramdisk thingy? sounds important stuff but nowhere I could see in the guide @ i64x site. I did a window hack that parse admin password (let everything's load while there is password before using windows; instead of load after key-in admin password). So far I like everything bout it. Got my ram and new mouse earlier this morning. Added on April 12, 2008, 9:39 amAlso, how do I wipe out the old driver ? I have the same problem (that echo thingy which is annoying) when I use Skype (tho I never used it; usually I only use VoipStunt). and yeah it's not just PC to PC, it happens even PC to home numbers.

Thanks for the reply xeNOS. I am not quite sure for voipstunt to be able to do that. Good thing about voipstunt can make phone-to-phone call which cost only like cents of money.
It's like voipstunt calls u and then it connects u with the number u want to call. For malaysia land-line is free but it requires to have a credit say 10 pound in the account.
For US I think it's free both landline and handset. When I said it's free means it calls phone line, not PC. duh.
Added on April 12, 2008, 11:15 amPlus, if u're thinking like real conference or meeting calls, there are better applications like pal-talk or better which u dont have to install anything (all u need is internet browser and adobe plugins for the browser). If that's what u're thinking tho, if not skype would do the job good enough.

I just bought new mouse for my eee PC. I think it's fairly a great mouse since it can do both vertical and horizontal scrolls. What else huh? erm I still didn't do ramdisk got no time maybe I'll do that later on.

QUOTE(xeNOS @ Mar 17 2008, 01:30 AM) i encounter this b4.. did u use the USB pendrive to install XP ? if yes make sure u don CHECK this: 'Manual Install and Upgrade' (the 3rd item from the top)  inside the guide its CHECKED make sure u UNCHECK it gd luck  .. guys, what's up I am doing currently in the middle of doing review for eee PC of mine. I'll let u know once it done. About the above, it's that all I need? again I couldn't find a how-to install XP for usb version. Any links? and if applicable, what other important steps that we need to do in order usb-install? Thank you in advance. ps: actually the review a bit time-consuming because I am thinking of doing good-looking video about it (with some applicable drama according to my plan) so that's why. Friend getting new camcorder but still in shipping. So hopefully I don't get bashed on kept saying "in the middle of review etc." hehe.. This post has been edited by derred: Apr 25 2008, 10:21 AM
