We fitted the Eee PC 1000H with a solid state hard drive and 2 GB memory. Due to the absence of the hard drive motor, the battery life increased by 30 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes under load. In idle mode the Eee PC was alive for 7 hours and 25 minutes which is 3 hours more than the to lattery life with a regular hard drive. Next, we overclocked the Atom N270 from 1.60 GHz to 2.0 GHz and found out the difference in performance. The 25 percent increase in clock speed boosted the overall performance by 27 percent-very commendable!
