From UMPCPortal:
Apparently devices which have 945GM/GME/GMS/GSE or 943/940GML/GU Express chipsets are ULV versions of what is normally called the Intel 945 chipset (and can be found in many of the netbooks and UMPCs out there today), and they all feature the same GMA 950 graphics, but for the ULV chipsets, GMA 950 is underclocked to help improve battery life among other things.
A nifty little app called GMA Booster steps the GMA 950 graphics back up from 133/166 MHz, to the level that is found in non-ULV version of Intel 945, 400MHz. The nice thing about this is that it seems to be a simple instruction set sent to the chipset; it doesn’t change any voltage levels, and isn’t pushing the clock speed higher than it is designed to go, just up to its regular level.

If you’re on Linux on your Eee, you might want to check out these 24 great applications from the open source crowd, most of which were specifically made for the Eee PC, have been grouped together for the first time. Many are designed to run on Linux and all come with functional details and links so you can download them for yourself to use and enjoy.
From Eee User:
The Eee PC 1008HA is part of a plan by Asus to introduce a new netbook series. This new series, called the Seashell, is to comprise of a whole new design and be much slimmer than previous Eee PC releases.
Intended specifications are that it will be 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg), include a ten inch display and will have a 1.66Ghz processor. An interesting feature for the 1000HA is that all the ports will be hidden behind flaps, which will be used to give the netbook a slim appearance. Claims for battery time give it up to six hours of runtime.
So Crave’s Rory Reid conducts an unusual typing test between the venerable Eee PC and the iPhone. Let’s see what happens.
