I just bought a new (as in still sealed in the box) 1000.  This one has the 
Atom, a fast 8 GB SSD, and a slower 32 GB SSD.  Xandros.

I tried ordering 3 at work from our usual vendor, and was told that they are 
no longer offering SSDs nor pre-installed Linux.  Took a gamble on the 1000HA 
and Ubuntu netbook remix and the kernel from array.org ran all of the 
hardware.

Anyway, htop reports the atom as dual core and actually shows different 
processor use for each of the cores.  I don't think that is accurate.
