    I'm mulling this one over. I am wondering how capable it is in terms of games. I play Civ 4, Rome: Total War, Sim City 4 etc.

    Any ideas on how playable they would be? Would screen resolution be a problem? I'm sure that the big limiting factor would be the CPU...

    There are numerous videos on youtube of it playing COD 4 at low settings, if that helps as a benchmark. Remember, it is a 9300M GS, so it is not very powerful in the first place. I assume ;) that it should be fine with those games at low settings and resolution.

    I'm sure that's helpful, but I am pretty naive when it comes to tech stuff. Are those numbers decent for the games i listed?

    I don't think Rome total war will run on the N10, but the others should be fine at low settings and resolution.

    Suprized no one mentioned this thread :D

    As for your gaming questions (because I didn't test any games you mentioned)

    I will say you might want to look elsewhere, while the gpu is not bad the atom bottlenecks the videocard big time. In my experience anytime there gets to be alot of action on the screen the fps drops alot.
