Asus EEE PC 900 Netbook – Dining Room Table Reviews


LATEST NEWS: The full review of the 900HA, the successor of the 900, can be found at www.youtube.com . ========================================= Review of the Asus EEE PC 900 mini-notebook from my dining room table. The Ubuntu-EEE screenshots you see in the video are actually from the Ubuntu-EEE Live CD. I did install and thoroughly test Ubuntu-EEE for my review, but had already installed Windows 2000 when I realized I had completely forgotten to record any screenshots of the Ubuntu installation. I can be such a n00b sometimes… :) To install Windows 2000, you’ll have to create a new installation disc with the nLite utility available at www.nliteos.com . You’ll need to include the latest Windows 2000 Service Pack and the drivers from the EEE PC 900′s Windows XP driver disc, otherwise the Windows 2000 installation will fail to start. One of the best tweaks you can perform under Windows is to move the swap file from the primary to the secondary solid-state drive. You’ll have more room for your applications, and there will be fewer read accesses to the primary drive. A correction. One of the sample clips was mistakenly credited as “The Next Great Canadian Prime Minister. The title is actually “Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister”, which you can find at www.cbc.ca .
