Atom N270 and N280 processors will not be offered upgrades to Windows 7

Most of the Netbook vendors have decided that they won’t be offering upgrades to Windows 7 to the netbooks running Windows 7. Currently, the netbook vendors have to pay just $25 for each XP license. And there are reasons why Windows 7 won’t be offered to N270 netbook users. Microsoft will be charging $45 per license for Windows 7 and thus, vendors will be forced to increase the cost of the netbook. If they keep the prices same, it may hurt the profits.

Right now, plans are to introduce Windows 7 to the netbooks that will be equipped with Atom N450 processor, which will be introduced in the month of October this year.

Although, I’m sure that there are many of us who are just not bothered whether our netbook vendors give us the option to upgrade to Windows 7 till we are able to get everything working ourselves.

Eee PC 1000HE BIOS update for better video

Asus recently created a new BIOS update which is must have for those watching videos often on their Eee PC 1000HE. User reports suggest that the new upgrade frees up some valuable memory from the netbook when playing video, thus giving a slightly better viewing of high-definition videos. It also improves gaming display and other applications which require heavy graphic capabilities.

Moreover, you may overclock the 1000HE at 1.9GHz, which will enable you to watch Hulu, Netflix and YouTube videos better than it was with the old BIOS and regular settings. However, before you consider the update, you should know that doing so would remove your 1000HE’s support for DOLBY digital sound. So, its a decision to choose sound over audio.
