asus eee

[jamisiah]

hi all can anyone comment on this laptop. os linux 4gig built in drive. Has anyone tried changing the os to XP ?

[hoe]

bought one new in thailand with xp pre-installed.

runs excellently, am using the hacked driver to allow 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600.

perfect for travelling and for programming radios etc.

but for not much more you can get a 'normal' notebook.

thaks hoe, yes i heard you can use the hack to better the resolution but is has to be done under the xp os. My main use will be just general stuff like internet banking, surfing the net,email, etc..

Then you would be MUCH better off keeping the Linux OS, alone for security reasons.

They are on special today at Zazz

Holy moly. An for $498.70 + $17.90 shipping.

Very nice find mandc. Sure beats the $650 I paid for an O/S import.

the 700 were hanging around on catchoftheday for $327 yesterday in the small fish section.
I changed the os to xp, runs pretty good once you fix the video drivers to get some decent res.
Also run BT3 off a bootable flash drive.

[jamisiah]

which edition of xp are you using ? how much memory do u have ?

[Farmsky]

Use this fantastic to create your own version of XP using nLite, which boots in 30sec. Probably best to copy it to a word document as the process is long and detailed.

Use one of these guides to load it without an external drive.

[jamisiah]

good stuff mate. just what i was looking for

Have a 701 512mb 4g. runs not too bad, needs 1g of memory really but quite usable.
SP3 setup for the eeepc.
is available as an iso in the usual places.

oooh i changed the res. to 1024*768 compressed, with 120dpi & my eyes started to hurt.

[rob916]

Yeah, but at least you can fit more than 2.5 icons on the screen.
