is it a dual core with two virtual cores? I was just using my friend's laptop and when i checked task manager, there were four CPU grids.

Yes. It says that the 300 series is dual core and has hyperthreading. I had no idea that Atom processors have these sort of features. I'm falling behind on tech improvements.

sweet! i wonder what would be possible if you paired it with an ion GPU?

you can always get one of these and find out first hand if it was a desktop board - http://forums.legitreviews.com/about26490.html

The Atom N330 with an NVIDIA Ion wouldn't perform too differently from this - http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1057/1/
