Rumour: Select Intel Atom CPU Netbooks To Be Allowed 2GB RAM

By Adrian Covert on October 28, 2009 at 6:20 PM

Leaks from the Pine Tree Pine Nut Pine Trail roadmap from Intel suggests that going forward, certain Atom processors will support 2GB of RAM, a jump from the previous 1GB max instituted by Intel as a measure to prevent cannibalisation between netbooks and processors in middle tiers.

According to Fudzilla, the 1.83GHz N470 processor will be the first to support more RAM, and will run between $US300-$US350. And if the rumour holds true, there will also be a 1.66GHz Atom processor that will cost as little as $US250. [Fudzilla via Electronista]

    I got my MSI wind upgraded to 2 gb of ram, and both 2 gbs are used, so this doesn’t make much sense
