NEED A PRO TO TELL ME WHAT IS WHAT WITH THE HP MINI 110

[LiquidSky]

Hey all,

I am getting the HP MINI 110 with these specs:

•• Black Swirl
•• Genuine Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3
•• Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor N280 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2, 667Mhz FSB)
•• 1GB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
•• 160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
•• Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with a 5-in-1 Digital Media slot
•• 10.1" diagonal HD LED Anti-glare Widescreen Display (1366 x 768)
•• HP Mini Webcam with HP Imprint Finish (Swirl)
•• Wireless-G Card with Bluetooth
•• Broadcom(R) Crystal HD Enhanced Video accelerator with ArcSoft TotalMedia(TM) Theatre
•• HP Color Matching Keyboard
•• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
•• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
•HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope


So heres my questions. The Broadcom video accelerator...is it worth it? I know that it will play HD video but what about regular video or even web video? Second question...is there an easy way to overclock the Atom N280? I want to make this thing as ast as possible. Third question....is there any mods that I can do? I have the HP MINI 1035nr but it is slow with video and internet video. not to mention any program I want to run on it...even when said program is not very memory intensive. I have a 20Mb a sec connection so its not my internet...it must be my machine.....right? If anyone has experience with the 110 please let me know how you like it....thanx all for any input you can give me.

hi, i suggest you might want to check other models, i bought my hp mini couple couple of weeks ago, in not less than two week the hard drive crashed without any reason, I only use it at home and only used it for internet browsing and some basic computer stuff it just crashed, i brought it at hp service center and they would not let me know what really happened why that happened, now its been a week since I took it for repair and still no feedback yet from them, but in case you really like that netbook, go ahead, just be carefull with it,. goodluck
