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.
