Hey everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while, but just decided to register when I ordered my AAO. I went with the 8G linux version because most places I went still had the old prices listed (walmart,tigerdirect,etc) plus I got free shipping and no sales tax with amazon (they dont seem to stock the xp version for less than 400+) so... my question is this: I had a asus eee 700 2G SURF that I installed windows xp onto, and I felt that the performance was acceptable for what it was. A lot of people are complaining about the miserable performance of the ssd in the linux model. Does anyone know if the performance would be comparable or worse than on the eee? I cant see how, considering the eee used an 800 mhz cpu that constantly throttled it's clock speed (sometimes as low as 200mhz!), but I am a little nervous hearing about other peoples accounts.... Also, has anyone considered running the AAO with either Windows 2000 or Windows Fundamentals For Legacy PC's (FLP) for a performance boost? Thanks everyone for you opinions, I'm both nervous and excited for this thing!
