Netbooks

[Darklake]

I run EQ on my Samsung NC10 with no problems. Something is strange about the P1999 setup though, as it won't on my 3.0Ghz P4 Dell Inspiron laptop, even though the same Titanium install runs Shards of Dalaya on it just fine.

Doing the same thing (occasionally) on an HP Mini. Very few issues with performance.

Great! was looking to hear about the performance on netbooks. I have a friend who has been wanting to get one for a while. Also... WTB netbook for 50kp.

I run it in a Windows XP VM on Mac OSX. Works fine.

Just be careful. Netbooks aren't designed for heavy gaming. I've seen many a heartbreak from someone putting, say, Dwarf Fortress on a netbook (which is HUGELY CPU-intensive), playing it regularly, and have the netbook die two months later.

You *will* burn out netbook-level hardware if you regularly play something as graphically intense as EQ. It's a matter of when, not if.

Yeah that has crossed my mind. However i got a great deal on this thing I've worked it like a dog for the past year if it lasts a while longer, when it does go...I'll be ready for whatever next-gen product is available. I keep the innards clean I use it on a flat surface. I run games on it only a couple hours at a time at best. Im confident it should last me a bit before it goes poof.

I have this one upgraded to 2gigs of ram

In terms of throughput cost for a netbook.
