I have an older Gateway 450sx4 laptop (Pentium4 M 2.0 ghz, 512MB RAM) and I put MicroXP on it and it started Maximus/Mame just fine. I just had to add a few specific drivers for the basics (network, video, sound, etc). It boots very fast and runs splendidly. I would recommend it for at least a learning experience on how it runs! - joe |

So will this one be called the "Baby Bender" ?? |
| jholman76:
Or you could call it "Angleyne" after the "Bendless Love" episode of Futurama. Or it could be a "Flexo" cabinet... basically use all the same art work, but put a little goatee on Bender.. |

SammyWI: Thanks for the link, lot of good info there! MikeDeuce: The EEE was the best possible choice I think there are a lot of dedicated users and a ton of parts and mods available I just did some looking around on eBay and I could get a motherboard, screen and a battery for just over $100 (should have done that research before I bought the one I did) |

well I got the netbook and got MicroXP installed on it Man I have to say I'm impressed Works great, Looks Great, sound is so-so (tiny little speakers mounted underneath) Mame is running and a few other emus, even got some N64 stuff to run Pretty damn good for that little Atom 270 processor Better than I was expecting, Sunset Riders is running smooth as silk :applaud: |
