Post #41 update:

I posted this thread before I bought the machine. Now I bought the machine.

It actually has 4gb memory + 128gb SSD. Does that help my situation at all?



And as a follow-up to this thread, to start with I'll dl HOMM3, maybe DoD. I'll also reinstall the War3 I got buried in my cabinet.

League of Legends.

Dota 2 will have a hard time with it. The game is made to scale well, but it's considerably a heavier/prettier engine than LoL.

Maybe with everything low.

Not a lot of games, certainly nothing remotely demanding.

I have a similar netbook (C-50 APU, which is essentially a C-60 without Turbo mode). The few games I have run on it are:
- Galactic Civilization 2 (runs well but required a mod to allow it to run in 720p resolution)
- Heroes of Might & Magic V (noticable stutters but otherwise playable)
- Space Pirates And Zombies (heavy stutters; definitely not playable)

I haven't tried others but I'd say anything playable on Dosbox is playable on the Bobcat/Brazos.

This. I'd throw the original Xcom games in too.

I doubt you'd be able to run current iterations of WoW on that thing even on low.

I actually have one of these as well as a tax PC. I also use it to do all of my online payments. iirc Best Buy was disposing of them for like $180 (I think it was like 50% off).

I don't feel like booting it up, but off of the top of my head:

1) the older Need for Speed games (up to Porsche unleashed) run fine. Just plug in a usb gamepad and have some fun.

2) the older Ratbag games like Dirt Track Racing 2 run great as well

3) any infinity engine game (I tried BG and BG 2)

4) Gothic 2 runs, but it's a bit stuttery if you max out the details You might have to dial down the view distance. I didn't try Gothic 1 but I assume it runs smoother.

5) I think I tried Dungeon Keeper 2 and it ran fine

Erm, wait for "Kabini" based laptops.
