Tom's, please revisit your atom and ion netbooks against our older mini notebooks. you know the ones with 12" screens running pentium M and older PIII Tualatin cpu's at 1.2 GHz. It would be interesting to see how the stack up. I just bought several older thinkpad X 32 and x40's for friends and...

Hey running win7 ultimate on my ibm thinkpad x32. pentium M 1800 single corewith 512MB ram. Runs fine much better than RC did. If I had a 5400 RPM drive and 2GB memory it would be much better. Howmy system stacks up against the atom I do not know. Toms should bench the new netbooks against he...

It is rather ignorant for the EU and the DOJ to come at MSFT like this. Remember back when MSillegally put IE on windows. And the wiff about windows media player. Same old song and dance from the competition. I agree with most of the comments here. Hey Google, Opera, Mozilla go make your own...

I must add for your AGP platforms a lot of us out here have dual socket opteron and like me dual socket xeon processors. I run an Intel SE7505VB2 with 2 xeon 3.2 with 1MB L3 and and ATI HD 2600 XT 512MB. UT3 Demo is quite playable with no stutters or lock ups at max on all video. So just as...
