MY 904ha comes tomorrow

Well of course it is 😀 It's not going to be any different than yours except for my inherent awesomeness - I'm going to get Windows 7 on it and get some pictures up here.

So sad the wired OSX video came so late if if had been out 3 months ago i could have used the extra help...!!

Let us know how that works out. 🙂

I've been wanting to put eeebuntu or Ubuntu EEE Remix on mine, but I've been holding off because I don't have an easy way to restore it to XP if I need to. I don't own an external optical drive, they all seem to be rather pricey.
 
Well, I had a massive post written and the website ate it.

Needless to say, I have W7 running on my 904 with the drive partitioned back together in one piece. It's running like a champ. Direct any and all netbook related questions this way 🙂

Just a heads up, there's a new BIOS available for the 904HA, dated 16 Jan. Memory optimization is listed under its change log.

You first 😉 I'm up and running just how I like it, so I'd prefer not to dick anything up just yet.

I already did. 😛 Didn't seem to harm stability under XP, though I didn't do any checks to check if the memory performance improved.

Are you running Windows 7 with the stock 1GB of RAM or did you upgrade to 2?
 
I upgraded to 2GB - no issues. I'm also juuust putting the finishing touches on my Netbook games collection. All I need is XCom to round it out 🙂

I haven't played too many games on mine yet. The few I have tried, such as SMAC, have an odd scroll issue. They'll run at 1024x768 and scroll the entire display when you get to the edge of the 600, moving over the extra 168 pixels. Kinda runs any gaming enjoyment.

I haven't really tried any 3D games yet, however, nor any with WS support.

When I'm at home with my powerful desktop, I'm going to game on the netbook. 😛
 
Bateluer is installing Easy Peasy 1.0 on his 904 right now. Will post details over the next few days.

Most of the hardware should work out of the box, though I haven't been able to confirm whether or not the wireless will work without some tweaking.

Edit - FYI: The wireless seems to work alright, though I haven't done extensive testing. You are required to input the SSID manually, and configure the security settings yourself. I did not see an apparent method of searching for available wireless networks, but such a function likely exists.
