Wow... 900 at RM899? Well, I guess there are lucky people out there getting things cheap. Bought my tiny 900 from my friend. Costs the standard price of RM1399.

My 900 runs pretty slow on startup. Can't blame it, used only for moderate surf, Youtube, Blog, IM, Downloads... Pretty neat to have this netbook. I kinda use to the typing already. Although typos occur sometimes.

Usually what Antivirus is recommended on the 900? I got AVG installed and it sucks like hell. I wanted to remove it but from the forums and my personal experience, AVG is an a$$ when it comes to uninstalling it.

Currently running WinXPHome SP3. Do I need the updates? or should I off them? Using FF2, FF3 eats too much memory... Surf a few youtube already hangs... Using latest Opera since I can block some of the ads. Chrome a bit lagging sometimes and IE6... I can't install IE7. Donno why.

my HDD is the 160GB version. Does it lag when the drive is full? I'm not such of a geek. This is my first notebook/netbook so... Got to take care of it as much as I can.

Any advices?

My EEE 900HD just died on me today. And I noticed this time it's not because of the HDD... It just got the Power, Wifi, light on.. No Fan sound, no LCD light on... no nothing.

Good thing this time my HDD is still okay.

So what to do with it now? Warranty is expired just 2 months ago. If go Asus service center to check, where is it and how much does it costs?
