^you'd be surprised, my netbook has a super slow cpu AMD V105. I put 4gb of ram in there and an SSD and it flies along nicely now
I put in a SSD and you can tell the difference.
Decent for what it is, especially price.
Revive an old laptop with this BARGAIN SSD!

Some more RAM and an SSD can make all the difference to an old machine .
You can even get IDE (PATA) SSDs for a properly old machine! OWC make a SandForce based one that they claim will do 275MB/s Sequential Writes and 285MB/s Sequential Reads.

For a netbook these would be great. Yes, the write speed might not be as fast as higher models, but once your OS is installed and updated, how many more major writes are you going to be doing on a netbook?
You can fit a useful OS in less than 50MB
50meg, some linux one ?
Windows 95 maybe
I did.
I have an older laptop that is used purely for keeping all the data required in running my local pool league and 30GB is plenty space. Agreed if your goign to use the laptop for media etc then 32GB is low, but as a paperwork only/internet browsing machine it would be fine.
Probably referring to D.S.L. (Damn Small Linux).
