It has the Atom N280 and I upgraded it to 2GB for $17 on Newegg. The N280 is not dual core, but has hyperthreading. Apparently, that's the reason it shows up as two cores in the device manager.

Like you, I've been waiting for an acceptable--or tolerable--netbook and finally decided to say to hell with it and ordered the Samsung. Wish me luck. Jack Nico,
I hear you. Like you, I’ve been waiting for an acceptable–or tolerable–netbook and finally decided to say to hell with it and ordered the Samsung. Wish me luck.

At the same time, I am going to wait a few more weeks since CES is almost here, maybe something better will be available soon. Hi Jack,

I'd say that with the exception of the dual core request, the machine of your dreams is for sale right now at Amazon.
