This is from a random contemporaneous TechCrunch article about the 2nd/3rd? gen offerings: Eee PC 901 (Linux or Windows): $599 Eee PC 1000 (Linux or Windows): $699 https://techcrunch.com/2008/06/13/new-eee-pc-models-get-us-p...

So I checked on the Internet Archive; we sold the EEEPC 900 with Linux for €329, and the Windows EEEPC 901 for €409. The Linux had a Celeron M and the Windows an Atom N270, so I guess I misremember them having identical specs.

I assume the Atom is faster(?) The XP machine felt slower though.
