Any bottlenecks are caused by the hd. This is on Ubuntu, but I was running it dual boot until a few months ago and nb was fine under XP. Along with nb, I'm simultaneously running all the usual candidates: apache, mongrel cluster, mysql, postfix, dovecot, email, firefox, etc. On my 4Gb dual core, it's snappier, of course, but it's fine on the ol' laptop. -- Best, Marc "Change requires small steps."
