ASUSTek's entry-level Eee PC netbooks are due for a slight upgrade, according to reports that point to changes on the Asus support site, which now displays some new models currently not on the market. Apparently, the names of the new SKUs are nothing but existing netbook appellations suffixed by the letter D, which identifies models that feature DDR3-ready Intel Atom N455 single-core processors (1.66 GHz). Following the upgrade, the Eee PC 1001PQ, Eee PC 1001PX, and Eee PX 1005PX will be known as the Eee PC 1001PQD, 1001PXD, and 1005PXD, respectively. Pricing and shipping details are still awaited as there has been no official word on the upgrades.

What difference is DDR3 going to make if they are still using single core Atoms?

My thoughts exactly... Kinda like putting lipstick on a pig or spraying disinfectant on a pile of poop, it's still a pig and it's still shit.
What I want is a laptop built around one of those Atom based server boards that have like a dozen atom processors on a motherboard the size of a standard size GTX480 graphics card. A laptop like that would be awesome and a netbook like that would just be crooked cool.

HP mini 311 as well as some others already use DDR3, why is Asus going with DDR3 like
"OMG DDR3, this is awesome, high five" types of news?
