I'm just keeping tabs on the systems so I know whether it'd be worth it for myself to get one. I'm NOT actually berating you or your choice in a netbook. The thing is, if it's having trouble doing those things, it's likely going to have trouble playing PSF2s as well. I keep a lot of high demand music as well as the desire to play games on something like this, so for the money it isn't worth it for me to get one. And that's really what the benchmarks were all about. HOWEVER, thank you for running the benchmarks because it saves me from having to purchase the thing and find out for myself how it behaves.

Was Project 64 windowed? It ran fine on the Sylvania G netbook when I put Windows XP on it, albeit with stuttering during the Navi flight and between cutscenes. And that bitch was $200. On the other hand, there was visible stuttering on the screen when trying to play Contra 3 (even though a perfect 60/60 was being reported by ZSNES) which ultimately made me reconsider owning the thing. Which I am now glad I did sell. (that is, soon as I get the money) Heh, I doubt Second Life will run on it whatsoever in these cases. Wow, I’m so not impressed. Was Project 64 windowed?

That is why I am asking for the benches. The $200 netbook was good for two things: playing music and hooking up to a screen to play old games.

(We live close enough together that it's feasible.) Granted, it would perform just like any other netbook running Win7/XP with a 1.3GHz Atom and 1Gb of RAM and an Intel Extreme chipset. :P DoomRater: Given that it’s my netbook, and Weasel’s the one who would care about emulation, I’ll get it over to him at some point to do that for you, if he approves.

Will continue to look around and see if I can manage to get it to behave...
