"it looks like the systems will still be limited to 1GB of DDR2-800 RAM."

actually I was thinking it looks like the systems are still limited to 160GB and 250GB harddrives which slow down the machine to a crawl vs the 8GB and 16GB SSD versions which used to make these devices work... what are you going to store on these things? They're netbooks! Get online, get off, done. there is anything else you need a big power sucking 160GB harddrive for.

"but it's still not powerful enough to run most 3D games and it's lacking in video decoding capabilities. Dell will offer an optional Broadcom Crystal HD decoder option to enable smooth video playback, so you can watch those HD YouTube and Hulu videos without stuttering."

...huh? why should "Netbook" and "3-D games" ever be in the same sentence? seriously... and HD video...? ...you need an HD screen first. considering the screen choices... HD won't make a difference... so why bother? dell has forgotten where a netbook ends and laptop begins obviously (or the reviewer...)

I just upgraded my DELL Mini 10 to 2GB of ram. I purchased a 2gb version of the 1gb module that was in there from cucial and it worked no problem. The only issue was intalling it. I dont recommend just anyone doing it. Yes, you have to take it completely apart. There are videos/pics on the net.
