One point with the Netbook is like you look at the antivirus products that came out as "Optimized For Netbook" as a reference to software usage on netbooks. The netbook runs on tiny voltages - much tinier than desktop electronic components. . You can try softwares but if they bog down and are slow - you may cause damages. Generally, if they run smooth and somewhat fast like you would expect on a desktop they should be fine. Any roadhog resource monster software is going to be very bloated on a netbook and will be very slow in response to anything and I would not use it. This has been my experience on a couple years on netbooks.
