Doubtless there'll be even more coming along as the new CPUs appear – marketing strategy fail tbh, how the hell are we supposed to choose?

Do wish Ati/Nvidia would get their acts together and force some decent machines out.

I was under the impression that drivers for the GMA 500 were poor to say the least. I actually shied away from laptops using it because I definitely intended to put linux on whatever netbook I ended up purchasing. I'm surprised too.
