EEE PC 900 Australian Release Date

So I'm in love with the Asus EEE PC. I don't have one though, so I've been hanging out for a release date of the EEE PC 900. According to this forum the Australian release will be in May. Now, I don't know how true this is because he doesn't reference anything!!!!! But I will be hoping that it is out in May. But on the other hand, it won't have the Atom processor which will increase the battery life of the laptop. In Asus' rush to get the new 8.9" laptop to market to beat the rest of competitors, the processor is still the same as the one from the 701. According to techradar the Atom will probably show it's head around June. Problem is that the Atom may not be a faster processor!! What should I do? Wait for the Atom processor or grab the eee pc 900 as soon as it hits shelves? I'm leaning towards the Atom, what do you think I should do?
