When I upgraded to 2GB of ram I dumped my swap file. The increase in loading/booting everything was marked. My SDHC card is currently home to a few temp/tmp files. I will be looking at dual booting in a week or two. I have yet to choose a second OS but I have experience with Ubuntu and like the support and fast maturity of their releases. XP gets most of the 4GB SSHD because XP is such a greed OS. I originally moved my swap off to 4GB SDHC class 6 card. When I upgraded to 2GB of ram I dumped my swap file.

The plot thickens :-) Two questions - 1 - since SD RAM is so inexpensive and seemingly easier to replace, can you also test you nLite image on a class 6 Transcend 8GB card? There are posts all over about running Ubuntu off of it instead of Xandros. So I wonder if the performance difference is greater? Also, have you upgraded the memory on this eeePC or are you running native memory config (512??) Great post. The plot thickens :-)
