Well, i thought that heat is the reason. Because once i've disabled Aero Glass and enhanced the CPU cooler (added BGA heatsinks inside Aspire One CPU cooler), it worked much better and connection dropped only once. Not ideal, but still much much better.
If anyone else manages to get any other solid solution for this, i'd be happy to hear it (if it's not heat).
I haven't had any issues with the wireless on my netbook, but I have had problems with the wired connection on my main desktop. Seems to be a common problem with nVidia boards. I had to disable recieving side scaling under the properties for my network adaptor in device manager.
Maybe there is something similar with some wireless connections.
windows 7 uses about the same amount of ram as vista.
for any pc my general rule is 1gb ram per core or hyper threaded virtual core for xp/vista/7. it might sound a lot but when i was running my bionc client with 4 tasks on my atom 330 dual core with hyper threading for 4 virtual core it used up the 2gb ram all the time because of the 4 threads using just over 500mb ram each then ground to a halt.
as for cpu's 7 is a little sluggish on an intel atom 1.6ghz single core and runs fine on any dual core cpu (inc atom) and any athlon 64 up or pentium 4/M up.
It doesn't really seem all that sluggish to me really on my single core atom netbook, but I do have 2GB of RAM. I'm actually quite impressed with Win7 performance on lower end systems.
