The 330's the dual core Atom. It's already available, so hopefully there will be a nettop with an Ion/Atom 330 combination sooner rather than later.]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/
ADVICE FOR ACER:

Here's a bench mark.. HD flash from hulu and youtube, fullscreen ( throw in a few graphics intensive web pages in other tabs )

think about it, who even knows this product exists? the pc addicts among us right? addicts need power.]]>Apr 28th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/
I currently dual-boot Windows Vista Ultimate and Mac OS 10.5.5 on a custom Atom 330 build (using Intel D945GCLF2) motherboard. It's surprisingly usable and responsive even when Aero is turned on. Hulu is a no-go but Windowed YouTube plays fine. I don't have any anti-virus software running on the computer, though (albeit, I do have an Untangle server).

Still don't understand why they'd release a single-core version. Dual-core has become the norm for quite a while and for the small difference in power consumption and price, dual-core is the way to go for nettops. With netbooks, every watt counts since you're trying to save battery life. Nettops don't really have a similar disadvantage.]]>Apr 28th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/

They even have video of the thing playing Hulu, windowed, and you can see it stutter. They kinda miss the point though, thinking that's perfectly acceptable for a home theatre PC. Sure for a 3 minute YouTube clip, but I'm not watching a lot of shows on Hulu like that. Kinda makes their whole review pointless in my opinion. But the details are still worthwhile.]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/

Engadget, could you try Silverlight v3-based HD streaming?

seriously modern web browsers are implementing SVG and of course direct video playback via tags (I think the next version of firefox is supposed to have it if it doesn't now that is... kinda hard to test it on dialup XD ) flash and silverlight are built around oblolete business practices mainly the idea that you can't make more money by keeping source code under lock and key which might be true but doesn't make it right or fair]]>Apr 29th 2009 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/Apr 28th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/acer-aspirerevo-review/1.
