It really boils down to whether you have some time to spare doing a bit of research, putting everything together and then tuning your system. If you don't, your likely going to run into problems, usually at the worst possible time. But if you do, you'll save some cash, and you'll also end up with an excellent system. It's not fair to say that a computer is not fit for audio work because of an Atom processor, or something else. It's all a a system in the end, and all the parts of the system need to be fit tightly together (including the software). If you can afford to invest the time, you'll be rewarded with a box that'll perform great. There's a fellow on this list that used to do live audio work with an EEEPc (if I'm not mistaken), and from the emails I remember that little Atom was doing a lot of processing.
