Seriously? It runs okay on your netbook? (windows, not WoW)

That's impressive.

Goes to show that Vista would really have benefitted from a "light" version, with the same engine but none of the gloss.

Will let my housemate know - he just picked up an eeePC from a Thai ladyboy.

Err it runs, as in like 2fps lol.

I'm trying to find updated drivers because I think IBM Locked the S10 to 64mb RAM.

Wanna pump that up to at least 256mb and then see If I can get any more response out of wow (which uses like 600mb of my 1gb of RAM without any addons anyway, could use upgrading to 1.5GB RAM as well >.<)

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
