    Hi, i don't know if anyone can help me, i hope so. I'm just about to buy an Asus N10, and as u know, it comes with a Nvidia 9300 card, but the processor is not that powerfull. I don't really want this notebook for gaming but do u know if i can play "Medieval 2: Total War"?, because this is the only game i'd like to play on it. Thanks!!

    it requires a 1.8Ghz processor so it will be very slow.

    Baturro,

    I looked at the Asus N10 with Atom 1.6 Processor specs and the game's requirements. I have no personal experience on that laptop nor the game, but I believe that you would be able to run that game decently. You can play around with the graphics settings by putting it on Performance instead of Quality and should give a bit of a boost too. So yes, I would go ahead if I was you.

    Added: And in my opinion, the 2GB RAM will make up a bit for the not so fast processor.

    The RAM will at least contribute into giving you a good FPS in the game.

    that notebook overclocks to 2.0 ghz with ease. thousands have done it on n10user.com without issue to run many many games. i am guessing yes.
