    You didn't list the Operating system...
    Will it run Win 7, if that's what your plan is?

    Which 'architecture' should be specified for the "Intel® Atom™" cpu:
    BuildArch=x86 or:
    BuildArch=amd64 ?

    Ooopps, guess I answered my own questions:

    2GB DDR2 800 MHz memory, support dual channel, maximum memory capacity 4GB*

    *Due to the CPU limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP / XP 64-bit / Vista™ / Vista™ 64-bit.
    I'd wait until November, myself...
    x64 with LT 4GB don't fly with me, especially the "*Due to the CPU limitation" part.

    Good luck with your choice, tho!
