RayB:

Corrected my post.

Anyone have a netbook? Try MAME on it. Its pretty much the same specs.



Blanka:

You may be better off using this one:

Also Mini-ITX, but with room for any Intel 775 socket CPU and a PCI X16 graphics card. Even cheaper!

BORIStheBLADE:

I read that they are supposed to be coming out with a dual core one, but don't know when.

MortalManiak:

ok, now that my post got lost in IE's cyberspace void, I will retry

1. The nVidia hardware offloads a lot of work from the CPU compared to the anemic 945(in my netbook)  :timebomb:

2. This whole thread is speculation so far.  I wish i was back in country to buy the board and test it out.  :hissy:

3. Try more than 1GB of RAM, seriously.  Programs like MAME(and WoW) give the CPU and RAM a lot of crap rather than make use of graphics programming shortcuts, albeit to stay true to the original arcades.  :cheers:

PS - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/zotac-ion-atom,2300-6.html tomshardware had a nice little review of this hardware.

PPS - The 330 atom is the dual core

And fullscreen will likely diminish that, perhaps strongly.
