Re: [LAU] Asus EEE 1000 as new softsynth?

how is identical hardware for twice the price of AspireOne or Wind awesome? at 700 USD, you can get a low-end/high-power entry-level Core2/AMD notebook from Acer/HP/etc.. which will blow away the Atom for audio work. you were told? by who? i'm told by personal experience that this kernel is completely suitable for Linux Audio work, as the vanilla kernel has been for some time now - the same time period during which i have been unable to achieve stable (or often even a full boot sequence) usage of the Ingo kernel(a) ive found the Aspire One is completely unsuitable for Linux Audio work, or anything besids running piddly ncurses apps. firefox cold-launch is 30 seconds on 0load system, with minor load (apt-get installs, etc) it reaches 90+ seconds. in comparison a coldlaunch of firefox on my thinkpad x200 is about 1 or 2 seconds no matter what. i think most of the problem is the fact that the chip is 1/6th the speed of the current Core 2's, and the Intel SSD in it is atrocious, which even with the wear-leveling stuff disabled in BIOS, suffers excessive IO freezups and has a real world write speed of ~200-500K/second. the N270 is actually 1.6 ghz. if its appearing at 1.2, theyve underclocked the max, as was done with prior EEE models, or you havent given enough load to reach 1.6 ghz.. if its appearing as 2 CPUs, that is hyperthreading.. which is a feature of the chip.. k
