    Why on earth would you put such an IGP in that thing? With a 10-inch screen and a 1.6GHz CPU that isn't designed for gaming, what are the advantages?

    Look up the Asus N10, it has a Nvidia 9300 or 9400. Some people want to game on these, and they can with powerful enough graphics. Or maybe you want to run programs that need better graphics than a normal netbook does, this will help.

    I know, but it is better than the 945 chipset most netbooks have.

    If they bother with 3200, I wonder why they couldn't just throw in a 9300m, at least it will perform significantly better than intel itegrated GPU.

    Unfortunately, its being said that the press release was inaccurate and it will use Intel integrated graphics. :(

    Too bad, the Radeon graphics would have enabled light gaming, even with the Atom processor in some older modern games like FEAR and World of Warcraft (Intel graphics can play these games but "barely"). Same with HD video playback/encoding.
