    Sponsered?

    But Very nice! I remember getting my first netbook, I could have sworn it was supposed to be a dual core, but there were no articles like this one explaining which ones are which.

    Re: Tech explained - Intel Atom processor

    The one thing the article is missing, imho, is explaining the difference between the Atom N and Atom Z chips (e.g. http://www.netbookmarket.net/intel-a...s-vs-z-series/ is quite useful).

    I use an Atom chip in my pfSense firewall and in my Dell Mini... love them even if they are a bit slow.
