If the netbook will be running Windows XP, and not some Linux variant, I wouldn't go for the 8 gig SSD model.

The issue is that XP grows over time - every security hotfix updates the DLLCache folder, as well as creates a hidden uninstall directory with the contents of the previous versions of updated files. I tried running XP on an 8 gig SSD, and its more management than you really want - you will run out of space in a year or whatever, and then you have to start digging into the guts of the Windows directory, or upgrade.
