Will do chap :). Results to follow!

EDIT - Just installed GMABooster, and clock was set at 166MHz for anyone interested. Does seem to be an XP thing then?

EDIT 2 - 731 3DMarks after settnig 400MHz clock.

Thanks for doing that. From your results and the other I found it looks like a 3 - 5% increase, so hardly worth the bother. Good to know though.

Had a look at the Swordfish case yesterday, really not worth £19.99! It was also available as a 'bundle' with a 2gb USB stick... for the same price. I asked for a few quid off the pouch instead of the free stick, declined.

So, any other pouches that you can tell me by name will be perfect? Preferably for less money!

I got myself a Zeroshock III from the bay for just over $30, well worth, much better than the Swordfish puches and better looking too IMO.

Have you upped the graphics memory to 256mb? Made video playback much smoother for me.
 
I installed the Intell Wireless-N card with no problems. Didn't bother getting another aerial but I'm syncing at 300Mbps so I'm happy. Cheap and easy upgrade!
 
I found it for £13.51 :D

But I'm not so sure now, will it be using more power?

Currently I get 2.4MB/sec on downloads which is more than enough for LAN streaming videos and since NC10 cannot play 720 HD smoothly enough this won't be a problem!

Where did you find it for £13.51??
Dont forget the wireless-n doesn't just offer the speed increase but range as well. I've not seen much of difference to be honest. IMO its a cheap and well worthwhile upgrade.
 
Well I got my NC10! I've got Gimp + Ufraw installed, so just to get familiar with the laptop before taking it away for a few days photography holiday as daily photo backup.

Quite a well made machine, I'm glad I spent the extra and got the NC10 rather than a smaller netbook - the 10" screen is very clear - I've still to try calibrating it using my Spyder2.
