I have been looking into this kind of thing myself. What I found is that getting an Atom nettop computer would be a significant downgrade in performance (from my Pentium M). Both in performance and power/Watt. Also, GMA900 on the EEEs is slow enough that rendering webpages is not very smooth. Imagi
