The Intel Atom processor is very low powered (in all meanings of the word). Anecdotally for a 1.3GHz Atom read 800 MHz Pentium 3.

You might get better mileage for music from a Via Nano.

I looked into this a while back and decided against it.

Not tried one yet. But I have to think that a good comparison would be
my laptop which is a 1.7ghz Pentium M, which gets completely bogged
down by anything other than the simplest of Ableton Live 8 sets.

Was wondering if anyone out there had any experience running any music

solution for running ableton/serato/whatever and quite a bit more
portable than a larger laptop. Concerned a bit weather a $250 netbook
has a beefy enough processor to handle these apps, but then again
people were running those apps on slower laptops 3 or 4 years ago.
Hmm.  I'd imagine you'd have to buy an external soundcard though.
