Good question. I would just use this PC to browse the web, write something (simple word processing), and attach a DVD drive via USB and watch movies.
>What kind of work would you do on this machine? Why do you need XP? The processor is not very powerful and I wouldn't want to do heavy work with only 512MB on a XP OS. And with only 2GB of solid-state drive, you will use a good part of it just for the OS.

>>Maybe this is nothing new but I just saw for the first time an add for Eee PC: a very small PC running Linux, for about $299. Looks cute and fairly inexpensive.

>>I was wondering, it is as good as they advertise? Since it has Linux, what type of browser I could install on it? What type of work processor? I guess I could install XP OS but not sure if it is powerful enough. The spec of the one I am looking at is:
>>
>>Intel Celeron M Processor ULV 353
>>512Kb L2 Cache
>>900 Mgz FSB
>>802.11 b/g
>>7"WVGA display
>>512 Mb RAM
>>2 GB solid-state drive
>>10/100 NIC
>>Intel GMA 900
>>1 lb
>>
>>Any experience?
