    Yes. Search here for threads on that topic, or look at EEEuser.com for a massive amount of info on this product.

    They should all run XP just fine. An nLited version is perfect for smaller hard drive usage. I don't have my eee pc yet though, just purchased a white 901 and a black 900 :) I'm excited.

    Does the EEE come with *any* gaming power at all on it? Obviously I wouldn't expect it to run anything remotely modern, but how far back in history do you have to go to achieve playability?

    Older Blizzard strategy games? (starcraft/warcrafts)
    Diablo?
    Older Civilizations or other Sid Meyer games?
