Are you only using b&w or are you printing color as well? Pictures? I'd like to have the kids netbooks work with our 2600n but haven't found a suitable driver. Thanks!

I posted it, here's the link http://abbyandwin.net/blog/2009/01/27/new-upgrades-for-my-asus-eeepc-900a/. All the parts used have links. It's still a little slow. Many people recommended the Runcore brand but I didn't want to pay the extra bucks. This is just a project toy and nothing serious. It is slower running XP Pro even after I stripped out a lot of the unnecessary pieces. Maybe the Runcore SSD will speed it up, who knows. I'd like to see a side by side video between the Runcore and regular SSD. I've seen benchmark numbers but I'm a visual type of guy. Hope that helps. Hi Ren, I actually upgraded the SSD days after.

I've done some research on what to go with, but I haven't heard of anyone having good experiences with them overall. Thanks!
