Pimp my Revo!

I've added some extra RAM and a new larger hard drive to my Acer Aspire Revo so here are the final specs: -

  • 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 CPU
  • 2GB DDR2 RAM
  • 500GB hard disk
  • Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics
  • HDMI, D-SUB out
  • eSATA
  • 6 x USB
  • 4-in-1 card reader
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • 802.11bg WLAN
  • Size: 30mm x 180mm x 180mm
The Windows Experience comes out at a weedy 2.2 due to the Atom CPU but the rest of the ratings look pretty decent for such a low-powered PC (it got up to a maximum of around 34 watts during the tests - normally it hovers at around 23 watts when idling).
