The N270 has HT, if you look in XP it shows up as two cores. 
Anyone bored? Check my progress haha. Some done, lots left to do.

have read through most of this thread and picked up a couple of things like updating the wifi drives and disable auto brightness
but is their anything else i need to do or download and also i am not a big fan of having a lot of stuff from supplier on it ie software and monitoring programs so of the samsung programs that come with it which ones can i safely get rid of thanks

I've just bought one of these netbooks because after much searching it still seemed to come highly recommended. However, after reading through the latter part of this thread I am thinking I should have gone for the ION graphics in a different brand.
Can someone advise exactly what sorts of things the NC10 struggles with when it comes to HQ video please?

Do you mean HD? Its that the GMA950 simply not powerfull enough to play HD properly, some NC10's have a secondry pci-e slot if your lucky and if so you can install a broadcom HD decoder card to allow HD playback, if its just for avi/ divx files nc10 should be fine as it is

Thanks for the uber quick reply
I'm only looking to use this for web browsing, word processing, skype etc (predominantly when I'm travelling around). It'd be nice to look at things like BBC iPlayer and youtube as well which I assume it will be fine for? When you say 'HD' do you mean full 1080p video files? Sorry if I sound stupid but I'm just not 'getting it' lol Thanks for the uber quick reply
It will play Iplayer and youtube ok but not the hi def versions afaik, by HD i think its classed as 720p and 1080p, some 720 might play but i think 1080 is a nono, which is where the beauty of the ion comes in, as far as browsing, word processing etc it will be fine

Hmmm ok - I did loads of research prior to buying the NC10 but now I'm thinking I should have gone for an ION netbook
We'll see how it goes....
Can you get vga to hdmi? I hooked one up just via a standard vga cable and then just a 3.5mm jack lead and it was fine
So sound would go via headphone jack into what? Another 3.5mm input on the Tv?
I've never had a laptop before I had the NC10. Is it normal for the battery life to decrease with time? I've had mine for about 16 months now and the battery would last no more than 3 hours with the brightness at 4/8 and wifi on. I swear it could do much more than that last year. 
Batteries deteriorate over time of course, but how you treat them is the biggest factor in how fast that happens. Mine is coming up for 2 years old now, and still has 97% of it's original capacity.
Install BatteryBar to see exactly what state the battery is in, but it does sound like you've killed it somehow.
