One other thing to note is that the new Intel Atom based netbooks are
really quite powerful. Many current netbooks have the Atom N270 which
runs at 1.6GHz and is dual threaded; appears as 2 CPU's in Linux. The
next wave of netbooks will have the Atom 330 which is both dual core and
dual threaded CPU. This CPU will show up in Linux as having 4 CPU's.
