In Windows I can over clock to 2.008 GHz. It has 2GB RAM and a 160 GB 5400 rpm HDD. It came with a 80 GB HDD. I installed the Asus Xandros on the original HDD just because I could. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi on my netbook, current desktop and my old desktop. I had one of the original 700 series Eee PC's (702 8 GB SSD) but sold it when I got my new Eee PC. Computers to me are just entertaining toys. Never used one in a work situation. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
