The Celeron/M based netbooks have 1MB L2 cache. The dual core AMD and dual core Atom netbooks have 1MB L2 cache but that's 2 x 512KB per core. However, compiling code using concurrency_level=2 would definitely see a speedup using the dual core CPUs, even if they have no more L2 per core vs. the single core CPUs. If you want to do development on a netbook today, I'd recommend a dual core model over a single core Celeron with 1MB L2 cache. So basically you're looking at one model of Asus Eee in black or silver. Here's the black one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220659 Given the 12" screen I don't really consider this a "netbook". If your goal is a small form factor, I think this is the smallest portable you'll find with a dual core cpu. It's probably not suitable for any kind of real "development" work, but it will probably be more suitable than any other "netbook" class portable. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
