Several things to consider.
1.) Screen format. PowerSDR needs a minimum of 1024x768 resolution @ 96
DPI to be displayed properly. A lot of Netbooks are 1024x600
2.) Atom processors are low on CPU cache. The N2600 has only 1 GB and
is clocked @ 1.6 GHz. The low cache will slow down the floating point
match PowerSDR is constantly crunching. You can only give it 2 GB or
RAM so I would not attempt it on a 64-bit OS.
3.) The CPU and limited RAM also have to do video processing too.
Is the ATOM based Netbook a "non starter"? Probably not but it will be
a challenge to get configured to run well especially if it came with
bloatware installed. Loading Windows from scratch would be my
recommendation.

Hello
is anybody using a netbook (especially with a N2600 dual core mobile
processor) with PowerSDR and a Flex-1500 under Windows 7 Starter ??
Would be interesting for a small station with low power consumption.
