Re: Eee PC 900 to get Atom processor in June?

I believe the Atom can run two types of external buses, for just that reason.

I said I'd get one when I could get a 1024x600 screen, but that was assuming I could not get 64 bit (yes, I have software that doesn't need speed but would be much better if I could run the newer 64 bit version) and hyper threaded (close enough to dual core, and given the design of the Atom, a big win, unlike the P4).

Pixels? I'd really like to know how many pixels the displays have, I'm waiting for the HP Mininote to get the Nano just so I have a decent CPU and more than 1024x600.

I expect that would be the tech from PixelQi, the same people (and tech) who did the One Laptop Per Child XO's display, which does all those things.

POW camps are not like concentration camps. POWs had everything she said they didn't, the Red Cross inspected them, granted, by the end of the war the food situation in Germany was bad, and they lost weight, but I've never read of any mistreatment of western POWs German camps. How the Germans treated the Russian POWs were a very different matter.

They had shows, commerce, mail from home, etc.

I still think they should have let Hamas get bogged down in governing when they won two years ago, instead of handing them excuses for how things are.
