I have an Atom in my Azus EeePC net book and it has no trouble
with movies.

My old HP notebook has an older processor of unknown type I run
Rhino on. It does run hot. There never was a problem actually in the process
of doing dwg. Rendering on the other hand was rather slow until I expanded
the ram memory to 4 gig.

I suspect the amount of ram memory you have has far more to do with speed
as "modern" bloat ware is so large the processor has to roll code pages
in and out of memory. Therefore the more memory you have speeds up
the process greatly. IMHO a two Megahertz is not going to run large programs
noticeably faster than a one MegaHertz processor. Two cores however can help
and the latest Atoms have two cores.

True..  Because either a one Megahertz or a two Megahertz processor
will take for ever to do anything useful with modern software.  I'd be
dead before either could load winXP..  Gigahertz = 1000Megahertz  Go
for the Gigahertz these days.  You can afford it.

Matt-

Yes I meant giga and not mega :) Thanks Matt.
A little brain fade on my part.
