    If I wanted to load some games on it, what era of games should I be looking at? I'm guessing pretty primitive, around 2002/3 or so, though that was a better era for gaming anyway IMO.

    Red Alert 2 maybe? I tried running some SNES games on one and they ran like crap.

    SNES, PS1 games can be ran even on PSP what has 32mb ram and 333Mhz cpu so EEE will definetly play them just fine.

    Also, Can I Run It site is BS. It's showing sometimes that you fail to pass even the Minimum but actually you can play it around medium/high or so.

    Easiest way is to try demos, research about the game you want to play and then make your decision.

    Diablo 2 & Star Craft. It's everything you need anyway.
