In general the C7 processor are adequate for casual usage as you described. A lot depends on the operating system overhead, amount of memory and too many other factors to mention. My suggestion is to try the applications you use the most to see if it too slow for your needs. Atom processors are a bit faster clock rate wise and supports Hyperthreading so it will be faster in practice. Regards, Spencer On May 16, 2009, at 13:01, A.
