Will a USB HDTV Tuner work with the 311?

I've been experiencing lots of stuttering during game play in even older games. I have the mini 311c with has the atom n270, upgraded the ram to kingston 2gb 1033mhz module and immediately installed windows 7 ultimate on my machine.

Indigo Prophecy, a game released in 2004, 1024 x 768, medium settings, surprised smooth for a couple of seconds then stuttering when it has to load things in memory like new interaction with objects. This has me to believe that its a memory access problem.

I turned off page file and it helped a little but its hardly a solution to this problem, I'd rather have the sability then just turning it off everytime i want to play a game. Still with pagefile off, still stuttering!

Took a screenshot of memory details and its says Dram Frequency @ 266.7mhz, that seems awfully slow considering I'm using a 2gb ddr3 stick at 1033mhz, and the soldered 1gb. Anyone shed any light as to what might be the problem here?

DDR 3 comes in speeds of 800, 1066,1333,1600. The actual clock speeds are as follows. 100mhz ,133mhz , 166mhz , 200mhz.

Would this effect performance in gaming? The fsb in the n270 is 533mhz so the so I guess the ratio of fbs:dram seems right. Anyone one else with the n270 atom and 2gb 1033mhz ram care to run CPUz and see if this is the same.

I have the same problem with my Logitech Revolution mouse. Haven't found a fix for it yet though.

I noticed that if I'm in the BIOS and I plug in my Logitech Anywhere MX USB dongle, the Mini freezes as well... I wonder if that has anything to do with our current problem?

How is the fan noise and performance on your Mini 311?

I had mine for 10 days and the fan was never on. The machine was therefore extremely quiet and performed well. Then all of the sudden the fan came on and never turned off. One day later, the machine started to shut down autonomously. So I wonder if the 10 days of no fan caused overheating (which I did not feel) and resulted in a hardware failure.

I have since sent in the Mini to HP for repairs.

Hey guys - did anyone else order the Mini 311 during the Bing 25% cashback promotion?! I did, and I just got the computer today... however, I just got an email from Bing saying that my Cashback Reward has been cancelled.. seemingly out of nowhere. I followed all the 'Terms and Conditions' and am in shock at how this could happen. I might have to return the machine now The whole reason I bought it was because of the cashback deal...

Sorry to hear that NJDave...

(1)-how is the fan activity for everyone else?? OFF most of the time, ON all the time, high pitch, audible in quiet library, etc?? What are your temperature readings??
(2)-The mini 311 has an empty mini pci-e slot, right??? is it possible to put in an SSD so that you have both SSD and regular Harddisk?? Can i install the OS on the SSD??

You should send them a support ticket asking why. The cashback shoulde valid if you bought it around the 18th. I bought mine around 4am and originally they gave me a 3% cashback, but after a ticket. They gave me the 25% credit.

Now gotta way till Dec 18th o_o to receive it.
