Are you sure that's dual atoms? AFAIK it has a single Atom N270 (single
core) at 1.6GHz. With hyper-threading, you may see "two cpus".
My desktop at home has the Atom N330, the only dual-core Atom released
so far. It's fine for day-to-day use, but my old Athlon64 3200 runs
faster. I got the Atom for the low power (I keep it on 24/7).
