    I just picked up a 1030NR and I love it so far. It only came with a 16GB SSD drive. Can that be upgraded in the future? It has XP on it currently. Can I do fresh installs from my XP or Vista cd's?

    I see there is a program called a Mircorosoft compression client. Does that somehow compress the windows install so it is smaller for this small SSD drive?

    Where are the best video drivers for this unit?

    How does it's performance compare to other netbooks out there right now?

    I have read the RAM can be upgraded to 2 GB. What ram do I need for this?
