    What temps are you getting load and idle, and is the CPU fan still at stock speeds, or is that speedup?

    You have to upgrade the BIOS to ver 1.09 and inside it enable overclock to 24%, at booting when showing the MSI logo press FN+F10 and the power button will light orange, that means its is overclock mode (1.98GHz)

    yes it does, and very well. i tested it too and it’s nice, all the effects works like a normal computer, aero effects too.

    careful before you buy the 120 i was gonna get it to but i found out the ram is not upgradable and it has no “overdrive” to easy overclock (not yet anyways) it also has a diffrent network card so the wifi doesent work on leopard yet.

    It came with 1GB of RAM, i upgraded to 2GB later.

    I tested running Windows 7 the beta version and it worked although the animations i needed to disable to prevent lag

    Nice vid
    Im thinking of picking up an msi wind 120, is your 100. Anyway did you up grade the memory to 2gb or did it come like that.

    How does it run ?
    I need somthing small for word and internet use. This looks idea. Do you think windows 7 will run ok on the msi when its out.

    not at all, the only section that gets somewhat hot is the area near the hard disk

    But what happens if i boot off the battery, and want to put it into power saving mode? can i change the overclock whilst in windows, say from under clocking to overclocking?

    no way you can void your warranty if you overclock the msi, its a main feature of this netbook, the overclocking is enabled everytime when booting

    Can you overclock whilst in windows? or only when booting!

    Also…

    Does it void warrenty if overclocked?
