Did you even look at the Network Comparison chart on the top of this website? For someone "who knows squat" about CPUs, you sure took your time to give us all the specs on numerous CPU models in numerous posts. You also immediately changed the direction of the original post from something that was "help me find a netbook" to "tell me which CPUs are best".

Look...we see these "help me pick a netbook" posts every week. You posted a question, left out some details (which is fine), then kept changing your mind regarding tech specs and asking for people to compare CPU performance for you...if you want that kind of CPU vs. CPU benchmarking, this is not the site...maybe CNET or Intel themselves can give you the results.

You also asked for a subnotebook recommendation...which I replied stating in general inexpensive notebooks are going to have better performance than any high end netbook. My particular example was not a subnotebook, but showed that for $600 (US dollars), you can get a killer tech-spec machine AND a nice big display. If you don't want the large display, fine...but you've changed your mind so many times how am I supposed to know that you want a 12" or less monitor-machine?

Your 450€ is about $585 US dollars...that's the extreme end of the netbook pricing market. Even if we all rounded down to you spending $500 US dollars, you're going to get far far better performance out of a $600 notebook than a $500 netbook...and feel free to shop Dell or other notebook vendors for screens smaller than 17"...many are still 13" and 15". Dell sells, at full list price before any coupons or codes, 8 notebooks under $500 ranging from 14" to 17" screens. Dell also sells 21 notebooks between $500 and $800...10 of them that are between $500 and $599(remember that your limit is $585 in US dollars) come in 14", 15", and 17" sizes. These are just examples.

I do not have said personal issues...if you re-read all the posts here, you were the one getting snippy and being sarcastic.
