What my Acer can run.

So I bought a crappy netbook. I used the old theory: if it is not the cheapest, it ant the best.Acer Aspire one with solid state drive.8G harddrive8MB video card memoryDIYed 1.5G memory1 16GB usb stickthe whole thing costed me $400Used 3danalyzer to play:wownwn2used oldblivion to play oblivionragnarokpatrician IIIStarcraft IIdiablo IItransport tycoonAOEIII with lowest settingDOMOPerfect worldall dosbox gamesport royaleCIV IVHaloMount%26BladeWorld of GooVoyage AgeSporeportal...and a whole a lot of other games I forget nowI'm just hoping the game makers think of the gamer who struggle with all the hardwares and use acer netbook as a benchmark machine. If this little thing can't play it, then we have to confine ourself in a room with a desktop and spend the rest of the days indoors.What my Acer can run.
Or you can get a cheap laptop for not much more that comes with a dedicated graphics chip or get a netbook that is based on the nVidia ION platform that is capable running Call of Duty 4 at 40 fps. What my Acer can run.
8 gig Harddrive? and a 16 gig Usb stick?
Try the old Fallout games, Diablo, HL1, CS 1.6, Starcraft, WC3 (maybe), etc.
netbooks/laptops aren't good for running games

If i recall i don't remember hearing anyone saying that Laptops were made primarily to play games first and do everything else second. If they did say anything it was probably the other way around. I mean even the PC wasn't originally designed to primarily play video games (or play them at all). Now developers of games and laptops come to understand that through the years the PC has been made to play video games just as much as do everything else. They know that so when they make laptops they understand that they arn't supposed to be making the ultimate gaming machine becauase the PC already has that covered.
Your last statement is soo wrong. They shouldn't use a netbook as the bare minimum and complaining about that is selfish and fundamentally wrong on several levels.If you buy a netbook you don't buy it to play games, plain and simple.However i have one myself with intel gma950 and they're capable of playing the odd games, ive got these to work and are actually playable;Zombies v plantsCrayon physics deluxeOpen ttdWarcraft 3Fallout 2PlanescapeWorld of gooYou should try older games or simple games, anything new and 3d is an obvious no-go, not that you'd have much enjoyment playing with a tiny keyboard, screen etc.

I wouldnt waste the effort especially with crysis.
