This means I can play my hidef files on my pc or on my netbook on the go. Also sites like hulu for example which uses encryption on the video slows the cpu down by itself even before it gets to the actual video. The acceleration once flash is worked out will make that problem go away. I hope this explanation makes it easier to understand why this is a good thing. <br><br>As for the new version of the chip its seems its adding divx special codec stuff.

If it is a free one I may be interested. My problems were with Avast Antivirus, but maybe other antivirus perform better on netbooks. I just don't want a commercial antivirus because there is no way I'll pay $40 a year for definitions updates for a machine that cost $300. What Antivirus are you using?

It's boots fast enough for me and it surfs the web quickly even with the antivirus. I'm debating on whether to upgrade to Windows 7, but will probably stick with what works. I just loaded Dungeons and Dragons Online(an MMO) onto it and it plays really well all things considered and is definitely my newest obsession.<br><br>This chip sounds interesting, I'll have to look up more information on it.

This chip sounds interesting, I'll have to look up more information on it.

My wife had an eeepc 900 with Windows XP and not only did the machine take 2 minutes to boot, but the web was practically unusable during the first 5 to 10 minutes because the antivirus was taking all the bandwidth and CPU resources. Actually she had given up on using the machine until I replaced Windows by Linux. For me a netbook must get you online fast, and that means short boot times and no antivirus, so I won't buy a netbook anymore if it does not either offers that out of the box or support Linux in some way.

It's a chicken and the egg kind of deal. But your trolling doesn't change the fact that if Linux or another open OS ever gets above 20% market share, then your argument won't hold water any more.

Unless someone comes up with a OpenSource OS that will be compatible with almost every piece of hardware with minimum tweaking to satisfy the average user you will just have to wait for Linux drivers to be developed or be a developer yourself. Bottom line by Windows and you don't have to worry about driver compatibility. Overall I believe that its a very good concept and because not only will it fill the void of so many netbook user's, it should also keep the prices down on the devices as well.

With ION at least you know you will get VDPAU acceleration if you use the nvidia proprietary driver. This is not as nice as a open source driver, but at least it works.
