It looked good on paper... 
I agree with Beuc on this. Some pixels would be taken up by the skin of the window itself, leaving less than the max of 480 for vertical display. I could not find a way to alter the window size for Dink, so I guess it's always 640x480. I also did some searching regarding the EEE, mainly at Asus.com, and the most I could learn is that there is some kind of switch (in the software I am guessing) to go from 800x480 to either low or high resolution from there. No actual numbers, just a recommendation not to use either one, which kinda stinks in my opinion. Why offer higher or lower resolution if the manufacturer expects degraded performance on any setting but the default? And I believe they run on Linux from the factory. I like the incorporation of Linux OS, but with the limitations on display, I'll make sure to avoid this particular notebook. Sorry, linuxdef, looks like you have little or no recourse. You have my sympathy.
