FINALLY the driver for ATOM-Tablets is here - but the picture is lousy

The ATOM doesn't perform well for video playback, but it should be possible to use office apps, although the performance will not be as high as a Core iX platform, as the CPU is much more underpowered than the Core iX.

I suspect you will see the CPU spiking when things change on the DisplayLink screen as we try to get the CPU cycles needed to encode and send the pixel changes over USB.
