hi all.
it's been almost 3 years that I own my x40 (1 ghz cpu and 768MB ram) and now
it's seems a bit slow (I use ubuntu feisty).
Now I read about the EEE PC (900mhz cpu underclocked, SSD and 512MB RAM) and
in almost every review I found, nobody tells that the asus is slow.
So the questions:
1. it's worth to buy a CF and use it with an adapter as my primary disk
(taking off the 1,8 hitachi drive)?
2. it's worth to buy 512MB more ram to reach the maximal 1,2GB?
My primary use is web apps such as gmail, greader with firefox.
if someone is interested I've an interesting link about a forum thread on
using the CF adapters instead of the 1,8 drive.

thank you,
antani
