@ilovemaryam08 for real what can i use to upgrade the cpu?

[ilovemaryam08]

I purshased one of these at launch. i upgraded the CPU and GPU. this computer is amazing. played two 1080p videos simultaneously with 5% cpu usage. General computing was snappy this computer can easly play source engine games like portal(i tested with my config though).

@metsfaninct Not so much anymore at least for HTPC use. For $322 you get the AMD P340 which is dual core 2.2GHZ and you can go even faster. That cpu is fast enough to do HD sans gpu acceleration. At this point a Dell Zino HD is a better value than any Atom setup because of the cpu advantage. Atom still runs into problems with a few things like HD Netflix and multitasking which the current AMD/Zino seutp won't have. Anyway my 2 cents.
