Incidentally, over on the eeeuser.com forum, they're reporting that the CPU speed of the Eee runs at 667MHz, and not 900MHz. This is because the FSB runs at 66MHz, with a 10x multiplier. The chip itself can do 900MHz but it needs to be run with a 100MHz FSB for that to happen.

Apparently there's a BIOS update available that lets you up to the bus speed but it makes the system unstable to the point of not even booting on occasion.

From what people are saying, ASUS have never said it runs at 900MHz. It's simply the case that reviewers made the claim.

I should point out that it seemed plenty fast to me and it's not really right to judge these machines on clock speed. It's more about what they do, rather than how fast they are.

However, this does mean the Eee is only 266MHz faster than the N810 (or the N800 running OS2008).
