    I saw on some blog a netbook that was being shown off that had a 10" screen & DVD drive and it got me thinking...when will they stop adding more features and beef up the processor?! Intel has already released the duel core models but no one is selling them...why?

    PS: When they finally release a 10" netbook with DVD drive + duel core I will buy it heartbeat. I miss playing games, to many require disks.

    I posted in a thread that you can get a USB to IDE adapter. From there you can boot to External CD or DVD Rom as well as Extrenal hard drive. You can also install items with CD or DVD and do a complete back up to either of even a hard drive. The adapter can be found at newegg for $10. Any CD/DVD or HDD drive will work from a desktop PC. And many of the games out there you can find a NO-CD or NO-DVD hack.

    Having a dual core atom will probably not give any gaming performance improvement because 99% of the time, it's limited by the crappy graphic card.
