Eee PC's - Whos got 'em? & What fun stuff have you done with yours??

[cris_rowlands]

Ive had a Eee PC 900 since last summer & I cannot explain how great it is!
(but if your gonna buy one, get the 901 - better battery life & cpu power)

anyway, i was just wondering who else out there has one

plus if theres anything interesting you have found or done with one,
please tell your stories (keep them clean :D )
like for example, im currently installing windows 7 onto mine
and i WILL get the hardware acceleration working this time...

So yeh :rolleyes:

What type do you have?
Have you modded it at all? (i want to get a touchscreen panel, but am lacking in money)
What software/OS do you use on it?
Done anything crazy with it?

quick update:

Just managed to get hardware acceleration working

It doesnt have full aero working, so no transparent stuff or sneakypeek things
but at least i have aerosnap working, and its a bit quicker now too :D

i just used the compatibility thing to run as xp and open the driver installer from the support disk and then restarted :D woot

Got an 1000H with XP Pro on it. Nice little thing.

Cheers

I've got a 901 running Easy Peasy 1.1... now if I could just figure out how to tether it to my phone :)

I have a 900, removed the factory Linux (WINE couldn't run an application I wanted) and installed XP Pro from a pendrive. Got a USB lamp for it:D no more mods.
I managed to set up my Diamond to share 3G data connection to EEE via WiFi.

When you remember to remove batery when power is turned off (900 series drains 14mA when completely off!) it is a very good portable pc, with good battery life.

[cris_rowlands]

thx kosherpig, didnt know that about the battery

I have an Asus Eee 8G... Haven't done much with it except install Windows XP... Nice little netbook, tho, good enough for surfing the net on the couch checking out email and scores...

[josefcrist]

oh forgot to add on my 1000h i have a 32gb ssd and 2gb of ram added. in the future i hope to put more eee related stuff on my website www.acetylated.com

they are not that bad when you turn up the frequency

I have a Sammy NC10 with an Intel Atom processor. How do you turn up the frequency? Thanks in advance.

[cris_rowlands]

You need to overclock it: Clicky (http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Sammy+NC10+overclock)

For those with EeePCs use eeectl (http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=eeectl), but dont use it on any other devices

[leobox1]

but the GMA on them is not OC-able :(
