   Without the model number, a specific answer won't be able to be given,   
   however typically this is limited by chipset and CPU. You could look up   
   the CPU specs.   
      
   The thing is probably gutless, is it worth it? How fast is the memory   
   bus? Is the battery still serviceable?   
      
   I've got a broken Atom netbook here, that I'm considering removing the   
   motherboard and replacing with a Raspberry Pi (or maybe two).
