A video about whether its actually worth going to the trouble of trying to run os x on a netbook when your not really going to be able to use it to its full potential on a low powered machine. Wouldn’t windows xp or ubuntu suffice? Or even windows 7?

garageband 08 running on MSI Wind netbook. Atom N270 @1.6Ghz 2Gb Ram 80Gb WD Scorpio HDD Leopard 10.5.4 Software instruments work well. You can record one with up to 6 tracks running at the same time. I figured out garageband on such hardware is a modern 4-tracks audio recorder. Back to the roots ! It could be even better if Apple optimized OS X and ilife for an Apple netbook… In the end, garageband was recording grand piano ( software instrument ) with 6 other tracks — Aurora Bell + Big electric Lead Guitar as software instruments, 4 more tracks made of Apple Loops provided with the application. That’s not bad at all !
