Roger,
the minimum system requirements for NetBeans 6.7 are published at
http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/67/relnotes.html#system_requirements
I will not comment on performance of the CPU (Intel Atom) but I will
comment on the amount of memory.
For Windows XP, the minimum amount of RAM is 512. But this is really
just a minimum that will allow you to create and work with small J2SE
projects. In my opinion, 1 GB of RAM is actually minimum for any real
work - but you will probably need more.

The biggest issue might be the screen size - I find I need a whole 1680x1050
monitor to work effectively in NetBeans, and a second monitor to run the web
browser I need to test the project...
I can just about get by with one 1280x1024, but an Aspire One has 1024x600 (or
is it 1280x600?) - that's too tiny :)

The performance is at least reasonable?
Thanks in advance.

Peter has a good point: I used to have a Latitude D810 laptop which had
a 1680x1050 LCD and when I took my laptop home I would occasionally do
work while watching TV on the couch. Then I found a spare D820 laying
around (much lighter and 30% faster CPU). It had only a 1280x800
screen. Nothing to sneeze at when surfing the web, but the 800px
vertical resolution keeps you from seeing a decent amount of information
and made all the difference with respect to NB - I now no longer do work
at home unless connected to my external monitor. I can't imagine doing
anything useful on a 1024x600 pixel screen.
Memory is the second big thing: I have 2GB on my laptop but have seen NB
crawl on a 1GB desktop with our project (fairly large) loaded.
Thirdly, you want a fast hard disk (especially if memory is low as
you'll be swapping a lot  There's a big difference between a 7200rpm
(or SSD) drive and a 5200 (or is it 4200rpm) drive they frequently put
into netbooks and ultraportables.

When I need to work on a low-res screen, there are a few things I
usually do. I used a 1280x960 Sony Vaio w/ NetBeans all day every day
for several years, and doing the stuff below helped a lot to make
working with less screen real-estate pleasant:
1. On the view menu (or by right clicking a toolbar), hide all of the
toolbars - there are keyboard shortcuts for everything anyway (it
helps to print the Help > Keyboard Shortcuts PDF and learn them)
2. Use full screen mode (alt-shift-enter, I think - I always flail
around until I find it) to hide window decorations
3. On the output window and all windows that live on tabs with it,
click the "pin" button so they are hidden unless active or you're
hovering the mouse over their button
4. Set a smaller editor font size (Bitstream Vera Sans tends to be
readable for me at smaller sizes than Courier New)
5. There are a number of startup command-line switches us screen-real-
estate freaks have added to NetBeans over the years. You can try them
by just including them on the command line in a shell window when you
start NetBeans, and if you like the result, you can edit $NB_HOME/etc/
netbeans.conf and add them to the netbeans_default_options to include
them every time you start NetBeans:
-J-Dnetbeans.winsys.statusLine.in.menuBar=true
moves the statusbar next to the main menu at the top of the main
window (does not work on Mac OS, where the OS owns the menu, not the
window)
-J-Dnb.cellrenderer.fixedheight=nn
(nn being a number of pixels) - set the fixed height of cells in the
Projects and Files tabs, and all other components that use similar
controls, to a fixed height (if less than 16, icons may be clipped -
but a lot more elements can be fit in a shorter main window this way)
-J-Dnetbeans.small.main.window=true
I'm not sure exactly what it does, but there is still code that checks
it somewhere
--fontsize nn
(nn being a font point-size) change the font size globally for *all*
UI components (may not work on Synth-based look and feels such as GTK,
which ignore Swing's UIManager and get their fonts straight from the
OS) - including the editor, unless the font size has already been
explicitly set for it.
Probably the thing that helps the most for me is making liberal use of
"sliding" (minimized) windows - that "pin" button next to the close
button on the output, projects, etc. tab. When I see people using
NetBeans, I notice that almost nobody seems to use this feature, and
it makes a huge difference in how much editor space there is. I
usually drag the navigator over to the right side of the window, full-
height, and minimize the Projects tab and its companions - it's easy
enough to get to when I need it.
HTH,
-Tim
