I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on an Acer Aspire One netbook that is running an Atom Z520 chip (Ubuntu says it is 1.33GHz x 2). The machine has 2 GB memory installed (verified by Ubuntu). This install replaced Win XP that came on the machine - I reformatted the HD (155 GB) and completely eliminated Windows - in other words, it is a full install and not a dual boot situation (it doesn't ask me to select an operating system when it boots up, so I have to believe I got the single boot right). Ubuntu agrees that it is a 155 GB drive and tells me that I have about 144 GB remaining.
It is just unacceptably slow.
I would be willing to bet it is the video driver. Someone who uses Ubuntu, where does one find the "restricted" drivers in other words, drivers created by video chip manufacturer.
