Just don't forget that GNU's not Unix.

I have an asus 1005PE. How do I know whether the connector is compatible without taking my screen out?

Isn't the point of this also that these have significantly more IO and Memory bandwidth for the same amount of power consumed? For applications that are more IO and memory bound than CPU bound (web serving, map-reduce) these things will be far more efficient overall. For a CPU bound algorithm this probably wouldn't really be the best solution.

That being said, traditional databases are IO bound, but they work better on faster independent machines with a lot of cores and a single backplane, but this technology may be better for some of the new generation of "noSQL" databases that are designed for "horizontal scalability."

Actually, the iPad is going to sell really well to the iWoman in your iClass who's having her iPeriod.
