So you want a Netbook, but you’re not crazy about dealing with a slow computer? You’re in luck. The recently leaked specs for the upcoming ASUS Eee PC 1201N should make any geek’s wallet feel a little too heavy. The 1201N is said to be packing a 1.6 GHz Atom N330 Dual Core CPU paired with 3GB of RAM. The standard configuration will have a 320GB hard drive as well.
The thing that really sets it apart is the video. The 1201N will be rocking the Nvidia ION chipset (Geforce 9400M), which will be pumping video to a 12 inch display with a resolution of 1366x768. You can also expect an HDMI out with the ION chipset.
There will also be a less powerful version, the 1201HA, with a standard Atom chipset and Intel graphics in the same 12 inch chassis. No pricing information is available right now. Release date is also a mystery. The fact that they both run Windows 7 indicates they won’t be available until after Windows 7 is released on October 22.

I think it's dual channel. Tri would be very unlikely, and I think it's still reserved for only the core i7s.

Iwanna lick this baby! OOHHH! Adamo is Razor thin! It'll be a big hit with the emo kids! But this netbook is where its at (at least for now) And is itjust me, or is it funny that nVidia is only doing stuff for underpowered PCs (ion platform) and over the top worksatations (fermi) these days?

Thanks for the news. I was just starting to look for a netbook. I am waiting until at least after October 22 before I buy.
