So I have the single core ion revo working well with windows 7 and xbmc, 2 gigs of memory. What I am wondering is if it would be worth upgrading to the new 1.8ghz jetway nettop with dual core? How much difference would I see going from the 1.6ghz ion revo single core to a 1.8 dual core with ion 2? I will run the same 2 gigs of memory and 32 bit windows 7. I have also thought of building a small dual core amd 45nm rig.. any input is appreciated..

What are you doing with the machine?
Have you considered running XBMC Live instead?

looks good, but the gpu comes up at 75 bucks.. would it be ok to go with a mobo with nvidea video built in? if so can you recommend one? I'll be going with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, so I guess 2 gigs is enough? I have a hard drive already, and i'll use a external dvd drive to load the OS. how loud do you think that cpu fan will be in a small case? again any input appreciated very much!
