    For Warcraft 3, does it play DOTA smoothly? With all the graphics settings on max that is. Except maybe resolution.

    Sorry DOTA? I don't know what it is? (Or maybe I do, but can't remember? :) ).. War3 all on high at 1400x1050 works fine. Lower resolutions make it even smoother.
    Cheers,

    No problem. The only games the GMA900 struggels with are mainly DirectX9.0 games. War3 is a pretty old game and the GMA900 will have no problems with it whatsoever on max settings.

    GMA 900 plays WAR3 fine! No problem full settings. It can also, play games such as HL2 and CSS. Very low framerates but it is playable. Lowest settings but its not to bad. Its fine for older games but it struggels with the newest games, but most it will play...
