... Most netbooks currently on the market offer 512MB or 1GB of
system memory and only a single DDR2 SO-DIMM slot. However, with most of
the netbooks a 2GB memory module could be easily installed, but what
performance benefits does that yield for an Intel Atom powered device?
In this article we have a few benchmarks comparing the 1GB versus 2GB
memory performance on the Atom-powered Samsung NC10. Check it out at Phoronix Intel Atom 2GB Memory Performance - More news at DV Hardware

Phoronix —
... , 2GB of DDR2 memory , and Intel integrated graphics. Is Ubuntu 9.04 booting faster than its predecessor? With the Intel Atom netbook at least, it is a resounding yes! It took 29 seconds to boot Ubuntu 8.10 but only 21 seconds for Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4.

Until enabled by default, Speedboot can be used on the beta for Mandriva 2009.1 and later by adding "speedboot" to the GRUB's kernel configuration. We tested out Speedboot on the Mandriva 2009.1 beta with the same Intel netbook we used for other recent Linux boot articles. This netbook is the Samsung NC10 with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2GB of DDR2 memory , and an OCZ Core Series V2 SSD . Some of the key package versions ...

... how does its performance compare to other mobile-focused Linux distributions? We have benchmarked Moblin V2 Alpha 2 and compared it against what is likely their biggest competitor in the mobile space, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and the LPIA-based Ubuntu MID edition. Which of these mobile operating systems is the fastest? We hope to find out today. [image] Similar to our Ubuntu MID power testing last week, all testing was done on an Atom-based Samsung NC10 netbook with 2GB of RAM and an OCZ Core Series V2 SSD added in. On the Moblin side, we used Moblin ...
