+1 for this
for more cost cutting go for G2010 processor. :)
320GB hdd are available imo, they will be cheaper

Atom is very weak, even for applications like MS word..
You have to consider that modern browsers and day to day softwares can utilise most of the processing capabilities of G2010 easily..

Yes, Intel Pentium Dual Core should be the choice for any kind of Desktop applications, Atom Processors are really very weak. I am waiting for Intel Baytrial based Quad Core Atom Processors to be released in India, planning for a Download and Internet PC using that.

pentium is still better than x2 by a quite margin.

atom cant even handle 3 tabs in firfox....that too of tdf...im browsing with atom currently and i only open 3 tabs max(TDF) if i open more lags heavily....

if OP is able to get pentium easily then why discussion about atom, sempron , x2 :facepalm: they are far far away(and much older) from g2010

if he cant get pentium then Raspberry Pi is best alternative

^^ Exactly. Sempron, Athlon II X2 and Atoms are simply out of the league here and no point of considering them at all. G2010 or G2020 should be the best choice and only choice for the OP.

i use a single core atom 1.6GHz with 2 gb ram on windows 7 & usually open 40-50 & sometimes even 100+ tabs in firefox with no problems except low ram warning sometimes.it all depends on how you handle the load.;)
