RAM What the diff between an atom processor and normal? Its dual core. This computer is better then all the ancient desktops I have in my house. And I already have a 40gb hard drive and a optical drive that can only read cd's from an old pc so I can install the os. And I have a keyboard and mouse that will do for now. and ill try and pick a monitor up for cheap till I spend 150 on a 23 inch lcd. |

Atom is just a different line of processors. Kinda like Pentium, Core, Athlon, Phenom, Opteron, Xeon, etc.
Anyway, the Atom dual cores are pretty nice. 64-bit too. I would try a 64-bit Linux distro on dis bitch. One thing, just by looking at the case, I can tell it's a mini-ITX. I just want to make sure you're aware that it will be very small, so if you ever feel the need to add an expansion card, be sure it's a slim form factor. Anyway, pretty good build, but get this RAM instead. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820141239 Better timings, has heat spreader, and lower price. |
