    One thing that confuse me is that the Aspire One appear to have some discrepancy. On the A1 configuration page, it show that it use GMA950 as integrated GPU, but the specification page said X3100. Is that mean the newer 1GB RAM 160GB HD have the X3100 GPU?

    If this is true I might be in the market for an Aspire 1... but I am pretty sure that because of the chipset in the aspires you cannot have the newer GMA, I think it's still 950. Also if someone confirms this... anyone know of other netbooks with the X3100?

    all netbooks that use Atom are having GMA950. The chipset that uses the x3100 is not compatible with the Atom (at this time, not sure if in the future).
