"Intel revealed the Intel Atom 330 today, a dual-core version of its Atom ("Diamondville") processor for low-cost "nettop" PCs. Like the Intel Atom 230, the Intel Atom 330 uses 45nm technology, features a 533MHz frontside bus and is designed to work with Intel's 945GC chipset (the 82945GC northbridge and 82801GB southbridge). Unlike the Intel Atom 230, however, the Intel Atom 330 features dual cores, plus second-level cache that has been doubled from 512MB to 1GB"

Would it be easier to install eCS onto a system using the above?  ???

No, I don't think so. I mean, the Atom CPU is just an x86 and eCS has no issue with it, the problem arises in systems that lack an IDE/SATA CD drive from which eCS must boot.
