By happy accident I found out that those can be shown with the Z key. |

In recent news the support for i386 processors was dropped. So your Pentium 4 |
| 27 |
still has a few years to go. :) |

Overheating problem? Considering it's about a Pentium 4, that seems a likely |
| 34 |
cause. |

Do both systems freeze on that website? That seems strange. I, too, have an |
| 42 |
Atom Netbook, though with an N450 which has Hyperthreading. It is not fast; it |
| 43 |
takes 17 seconds to load Firefox, but I had no freezes yet. The only problem I |
| 44 |
have so far is that mplayer often crashes when going to/from fullscreen if its |
| 45 |
video output is set to OpenGL. The N270 is an early model, perhaps some other |
| 46 |
hardware in the netbook is slowly dying. |

Well, on the other hand, you can count the Watts an Atom consumes with one |
| 52 |
hand. For the P4 you'd need the hands of up to 12 people. That difference has |
| 53 |
to come from somewhere. |
