As you may or may not be aware, the new Intel Atom N455 enables the use of DDR3 Ram instead of DDR2 Ram found in the older generation Intel Atom N450. The short of the story is, it’s not a deal breaker in the least. The DDR3 upgrade will be so insignificant that it should not enter you buying decision over a netbook vs another netbook. Take the better deal. If you want improved performance, then get 2 gigs of Ram. Just don’t expect DDR3 Ram to offer some incredible improvement.
