I have an Acer One netbook with an Atom N270 (single core, HT, it Looks 
Like a dual core). With Ubuntu Netbook Remix, it's pretty quick for the 
price. I see it lagging only when the hard disk light comes on (it's a 
16 gig SSD, and it doesn't seem the high end of performances). Flash 
works, Youtube for example. Not extremely well, but not too bad either. 
YMMV, but for email, web, etc, I find it pretty good.
