    I Just bought a Aspire One AO721-3574
    Clicking the link gives the specs.. I also noticed ( Havn't opened the box yet.. Frys purchace ) that Amazon sells the dual-core version.

    The AO721-3574 is 1.7 ghz processor
    vs
    Acer Aspire AS1551-4755 1.3 ghz

    The Cache size is different.. the single vs dual core..

    I want a netbook that is new, good for cards and netflix via hdmi to TV.. The graphics is ATI Radeon HD 4225 Graphics with 384 MB of dedicated system memory.

    So I want it for Media Center.. Hulu ... Hooking up to the Sony Bravia TV... Playing cards and serving the web.. But I'm stuck on having some graphics : )

    What do you think? Will the duel processer be better or worse.
    I don't know if the 1.7 will be better or the dual 1.3.

    Will the dual 1.3's dramatically effect battery life?

    Then of corse.. there is this Aspire One Bigger HDD.. 4 gig ram Athlon X2 Neo 64.

    So, I guess.. In a little bit i'm off to frys to see the one I saw there.. it HAD a dual core processor on the demo but I bought the ' same model' but single core.. So this is why I did not open it yet.. and found the Amazon ones.. Just need some imput please :) from the pros.

    Thanks all :)
