I recently bought an MSI U100 and have been very impressed. The keyboard is a lot more usable than I thought it would be. At a later date I will install a SSD drive. As for the IP4 thing, that is an OS matter not so much to do with the netbook.	mikebartnz (21)

As for the IP4 thing, that is an OS matter not so much to do with the netbook. Are you sure? A friend has/had a netbook running win xp but didn't have the capabilities to configure ipv4. Even though windows XP can do this. I think it is more a hardware issue. The MSI U100 does look go though.	icow (15313)

I think it is more a hardware issue. The MSI U100 does look go though. I assume you mean assigning IP and DNS. Just had a look and can do Win7 Starter.	mikebartnz (21)

I think it is more a hardware issue.It's not a hardware issue. IP is never* handled at the hardware level, and the configuration (or lack of it) has nothing to do with your hardware either. What's more likely is that your machine was running some kind of custom skin that made those settings difficult to find or access. *Unless you're talking about very high-end enterprise networking hardware that uses one or more ASICs to accelerate various routing tasks. Unless your hardware cost many thousands of dollars, this isn't you.	Erayd (23)
1157295	2010-11-29 06:12:00	Asus Eee PC 1015PEM (not just the P or PE). It's a dual-core w/HT Atom N550 @ 1.5GHz - the fastest Netbook CPU currently going. Base config has 1GB RAM but you can chuck another 1GB in it if you like. 160/250/320GB HDD options, and comes bundled with Win7 Starter. Honestly, we have a 1005P at home, and just last week got a 1015PEM at work, and I am badly badly tempted to get one myself now - phenomenal netbook.	inphinity (7274)

1157297	2010-11-29 07:16:00	I have an ASUS Eee 1001PX and am quite happy - came with XP but there is a model with W7 (would have preferred if with no MS Windows!!).	johnd (85)
1157298	2010-11-29 08:32:00	Not even if the hardware won't support it?The hardware doesn't need to support it - as I said earlier, IP has absolutely nothing to do with the hardware. IP is implemented in software only, by the operating system. The hardware doesn't generally deal with anything above layer 1 (en.wikipedia.org).	Erayd (23)
