What is better...

Hello,
Do you think you could provide us with links to the machines you are looking at?
Generally speaking, I typically don't recommend running Windows 7 on anything with less than 2GB of RAM. Of course, it is still possible, but I don't think you would like the performance you got after running several programs.

Just today, I answered a post, where the problem was very slow performance. The problem seemed to be the 1GB of Ram. I suggest if you are planning on Windows 7, 32 Bit, you have 2GB minimum.

Those are both tablet type PCs with very small screens. The CPUs are quite slow. I don't know what your expectations are for either unit. I'd be afraid I would be disappointed by a tablet PC regardless of how much RAM it had.
I would make it a point to play with both in a store and find out what specs it had. It may be that the extra 1 gig is a big deal or it may be that it's too slow even with 2 gigs RAM.

Agreed, and 4GB of RAM, preferably DDR3 will really make 7 move.

And I would add two SSDs in Raid0 and an i7 Extreme.
But that's not what everybody needs. If you do only a little web browsing, some mail and the occasional light office application, an Atom processor with 1GB will do the job. But if you do CAD, video editing and a lot of other fancy stuff - then see above.

With that many limitations, I still can't see the point of an Atom.

Hello,
Thanks for all your posts.
I already have a asus r2h and it runs windows 7 and works fine with the 1gb of ram.
It works better on 2gb of ram but works fine on 1gb ram.
The reason i am asking what you thing is best is the fact that i may change to another type of umpc.
I need a good quality umpc that is not to expencive.
Another umpc i like the look of is the oqo o2 but if fall short of my spec as it does not have a touch screen.
Thanks
