Netbook for watching TV online

[malpy10]

Hello,
I'm wanting to buy a netbook for the basics (email, word processing, etc) and also for using the TV players on BBC/ITV/C4 websites, and youtube. My current laptop has never allowed for smooth running of these channels OR radio so I'm consious about getting one that will cope AND last a good few years (My current latop processor is an AMD Turion X64, but it also runs on Vista with 1gb ram). Can anyone advise on the following processor?

Its the K125 processor at the bottom. I'm mostly concerned about the bus speed, although I don't know what is it.. does anyone know how to find out? Or does anyone own a laptop with this processor in?

Many Thanks

Sorry, I was also wondering how reliable AMD is vs. Intel? Would I better going for a netbook that has Intel Atom??

Again, thank you!

Go for the Dual Core matey. That one is single core.
If I were you i'd find a 10.1 inch netbook with a Dual core and an ION chipset. they are great fun.

I would actually hold off for a bit.AMD is coming out with their Fusion CPU's (CPU+ GPU) especially the Ontario one for netbooks.I like the idea about netbooks but myself have held off until they are worthwhile.Yeah just wait a couple of months.
You might even be able to do some light (or older) gaming on it.

Very good point, if your willing to wait for Ontario the benchmarks look promising, apparently COD:MWF2 works quite fluidly on it.
