    Hi all,

    I'm new here and I am considering a netbook for Christmas, and as it happens I have bought my girlfriend the old Age of Empires, so I bought another copy for myself so we can play against each other.

    On the back of the case it states it requires a 16mb graphics card, and that "onboard/integrated graphic chipsets and laptops are not supported". As the Aspire One has integrated graphics and I believe it only has 8mb, do you think this will still play on the Aspire One?

    The rest requires;
    166MHz processor, 64mb system memory and Directx 8.1+, which it does have (and obviously a CD drive which I will also be purchasing).

    Any help would be great, and if you have any other recommendations for other netbooks that would also be nice!

    Thanks in advance, Craig
