That's an ivy i5 in a three year old computer. The e-machines doesn't quite work yet, but its only upgradeable to 512mb of ram. xp sp3 would run like crap on that.

Seriously though, my friend bought one of those x205tas when they were on sale for $150. It ran Civ V, Assasins Creed, and fallout NV no problems. I mean not the latest and greatest but compared to atoms of yesteryear it blew me away.

i had an nforce board. had some sort of built in firewall on the nic. would let text through fine but would corrupt binary data every so often. so it was impossible to download anything, web browsing was fine except the corruption would cause glitches on all the images. of course the option to turn the pos firewall off did nothing. fortunatly the board had another separate nic with a working controller so i just used that.

You can just uninstall the nvidia firewall software. Its a 100% optional install.

people are hoping for it to maybe be good or close to as good as Intel pro a a few generations old

i think you missed out on the part where apple's answer to the atom based devices was the Macbook Air which outright defined the playing field and rules for the Ultrabook class of computers, thus demolishing the atom netbook market in one single product announcement swoop.

Good thing the atom cores make up the bulk of celeron and pentium shipments now. It'd be a terrible, terrible blow to intel if the micro architecture just depended on the sales of lovely 9" netbooks no one really wanted in the first place.

Doesn't AMD have some kind of atom competitor and sony and MS said good enough for gamers. Then AMD sold them the part at a price that doesn't result in much profit?

Edit:
Gartner said 83% of pentium and celeron shipments in q4 2014. What a loving failure and disgrace

also the fact that regular laptops just got cheaper so there was no need to cramp yourself to some tiny rear end screen and no processing power if you only want to pay like $400 for a laptop

yeah but modern atom basically just works like a slightly shittier i3 core, instead of old atom which was basically "a pentium ii but in 2008" or w/e
