Swapped out Wifi for a broadcom based mini pci-e card from an hp laptop(nx6325), went to 4GB's (3.5Gb's visible in OSX)... this thing sucks to open but worth it. DVi to HDMi cable out to my lcd tv... works best at 1920 x 1200 but will run 1080i hd... fairly choppy. Used a trendnet bluetooth usb for the apple wireless keyboard and my logitech mouse AND got the apple remote working with the philips ir usb thingy from a media center pc and remote buddy. cheap mini replacement. Geekbenched like 900 and something. Dont expect any quick iMovie edits but its working great for general purpose usage.

the bootloader is a serious nightmare on the Asus eee.

this is the classic error people get with osx86 after successful install of any one of several distros

attempt to boot hd

boot0: GPT
boot0: HFS+
boot0: booting
boot0: done
boot1: error

does the Chameleon bootloader fix this? How does one even install it to replace EFI?

The 900 from this aspect is as maceee puts it "practically identical to the 700 in terms of OSx86 support" by the hardware.

If Mac could present a 10 inch LED backlit glasscovered Netbook with a keyboard a´la Xperia with 3G WLAN Bluetooth and a weight below 700grams, they are (in my mind) spot on for the future of netbooks :-) Firefox and all the other software (specially Microsoft Office for Mac) look extremely nice on the mac os.
