My eee pc (1.4ghz intel atom, 512mb ddr ram, xp home) seems to have a lot of trouble with youtube, facebook apps, anything involving adobe flash or running more than 2 apps at once: cpu usage goes to 70% constant, and even the original app has trouble running. I thought a "current" netbook (even with a slowish cpu) could handle everyday internet tasks. 412mb commit charge, 48 task manager processes running, hicjack this log:
