Ubuntu and the Atom Processor

[Michael Haney]

Hey, this isn't really a support question but I've going to build me a
new computer to replace this one which is getting kind of old.  I
estimate it will cost me $200 to build a new machine (already priced
the times I need) from new parts and a few recycled from this old
Athlon XP system.

The new machine will be a 2GB Dual Core Intel Atom 330 based machine
with a 667MHz FSB, 160GB 7200rpm SATA drive, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, the
Intel GMA 950 graphics card, a very neat looking black mini-ITX case
with a 250watt power supply, and my existing DVD-RW drive.

My question is, how well does Ubuntu run on the Intel Atom processor?
I'm guessing pretty good since nearly all of the Linux netbooks use
the Atom but not this specific type.  This one appears to be more
advanced than the one in the Eee PC.  Its dual core and has a 2GB
clock speed.  So, based on the collective knowledge of this group, any
experience you'd had with Ubuntu on Atom-based netbooks, and the Intel
GMA 950 graphics card how will this likely perform?

If it does well I may build several and see if I can sell them on eBay.
