I was thinking the same thing too. I mean it has to be better than some of these old P4 1.8's with 512 ram, I have around the office.

Bottom line is that it's good for light surfing and basically one application at a time. It supports Hyper-Threading, but it's generally slower than a Celeron processor.

Perhaps this could be the tiny and cheap device to plug into an HDTV with a webcam to run Logitech's Vid or Skype for simple videoconferencing.]]>Sep 27th 2009 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/

I find no information on this thing other than it's a DX9 GPU only - no DX10. NVIDIA needs to clarify this before they really tick some folks off. This is a decent pricepoint IF it will support VDPAU and be fast enough for HD on Linux but if not who needs it?]]>Sep 27th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/So VDPAU should be supported.]]>Sep 28th 2009 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acers-ion-boasting-aspire-revo-nettop-now-shipping-from-newegg/

Looking at the specification, there is no Wi-Fi? Am I wrong? I really hope so...

Even with those specs most of you claim as 'low-end', this makes a really cheap NAS device.

I was about to spend $400 for a QNAP NAS device, but now I'm reconsidering my options...

Cool!
