 When I say "boost" performance, I don't mean that your HP Mini-note will magically turn into an Alienware gaming rig. We're not one to get too hung up on benchmarks here, but HP 2133 Guide updated the VIA chipset drivers on their netbook and then re-ran their tests. You can look here for the numbers, which only show a marginal bump, but I think the more important bit is right here:
"Video playback was improved quite a bit on each OS. In Vista Youtube plays great small or full screen with no dropped frames. If you open another web page it will drop a few then though. Small screen Hulu improved quite a bit and was actually watchable after the first 3 or 4 seconds."
From my limited experience, one of the weaknesses in the current VIA mobile platform is in the graphics perfromance area. Just my opinion of course, and your expereince & expectations could differ greatly. I think we can all agree though: it's good to see VIA continuing to improve their product in mobile devices. I'm not sure if James has installed these driver upgrades for the CN896 chipset and Chrome 9 that surfaced last week; let's give him a chance to check in on that when he has time and get his thoughts.
