A quick demo of the EEEPC 900 Multitouch function in action on a variety of commonly used programs with a running commentary. It's similar to how the MacbookAirand the iphone work. I've made a comparison with the iphone to show the differences between the implementations. This function is already built into the EEEPC so doesn't require any additional software or set up in software. If you already have a system and were not aware of this function, you may want to try this out on your own program by following the instructions in this video. Thanks for watching.

Win XPvs. Win Vista Home Premium — 3DMark 2003 Benchmark test. It’s a miracle that Windows XP Home Edition runs as good as it does on the successor of the original EEEPC 701. Now we can push the limits of this new system by installing Vista Home Premium retail (unmodified or optimised). This is an OS that even most larger computers struggle to run.
Many people are rightly amazed that a system slightly lager than a standard DVD box with some of the lowest specifications available on the market can even run Vista at all let alone in a usable form.
But how does this system compare to XP? Surely it wouldnt stand a chance? Well Ive set up two identical systems running XPandVista side by side and ran 3DMark 2003 to test these machines to the max.
The results may surprise you. You will need to see it to believe it.
Left System: EEEPC 900 900Mhz Celeron Mobile ULV Intel GMA 900 GPU Windows XP Home Edition 1GB 400Mhz Ram 20GB internal SD HDD
Right System: EEEPC 900 900Mhz Celeron Mobile ULV Intel GMA 900 GPU Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 1GB 400Mhz Ram 20GB internal SD HDD
Test1: Boot test Notice the fast boot speed of the Windows XP system. The Windows Vista System is actually not so far behind. You’ll notice the same speed differential between two identical high spec PC systems.
Conclusion: EEEPC 900 can boot up a standard retail copy of Vista Home Premium without a hitch.
Test2: 3DMark 2003 The XP system loads this program faultlessly and quickly. The Vista system takes a little longer to load each test but once it does, it runs it as good as XP. The Vista overhead does not seem to detract from its 3D rendering capabilities.
Test3: Demo Mode Interestingly, when in demo mode, the Vista Unit loaded the tests fatser than XP leaving XP trailing a little. I have no explanation why this is.
I ran this test several times off cam and in some cases XP beat vistaand in other cases Vista beat XP by a small margin. There was no consistent differential in score. In this particular video XP just happens to beat Vista by a few points. Overall Im surprised at how well the 900 handles Vista’s overheads compared to XP. This is all on a standard EEEPC 900 and a standard retail copy of VistaHPand Win XP HE without optimisations.
The Future: The Vista install is a standard retail copy with no modifications or optimisations. Hardware wise I look forward to installing 2 GB 533mhz Ram (currently this module is not supported in the bios so lets hope Asus offer a firmware upgrade). Once indexing is switched off, background programs are turned off and other elements are fine tuned VistaonEEEPC should run even smoother. The same optimisations apply to XP too.
