I have samsung N150. Cpu 1,66 atom N450
1gb ddr2
intergrated intel GMA3150.

I have windows 7 installed. It runs 1024x600 and most of games do not support this res correctly. But its not a problem. Intel control panel allows to take control of scaling just like nvidia and I can easily play 800x600 and other 4:3 resolutions with black borders on sides to keep correct aspect...

Normally I got gaming pc and x360 for most games. But I am taking it too school and just using it for boredom in bed and whatsoever.

Tried Super Meat boy, World of Goo, Braid, vvvvvv, Dosbox works allright. And also Syberia type games works.

Skulltag ?

(multiplayer and singleplayer Doom-based port, uses the original data files)

EDIT: Oh, wait, I'mm not sure it supports your integrated card. I think software renderer should work fine.

One of my netbooks has exactly the same config. Here are some ideas:

run great:

Operation Flashpoint
Deus Ex
Warcraft III
CS 1.6
C&C Generals and lower
lots of semi-recent adventure games (Still Life 1&2 etc)
Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale

run like shit:

WoW (unplayable)
KOTOR 1&2 Sad
anything based on HL2

3150 is a crappy card, Intel GMA945/950 own it totally

thanks for suggestion, yea... Onlive just sucks with the control latency. But its still incredible seeing games like assassins creed2 working flawlesly on netbook.

There is one thing Mentioned above I didnt played....(You will bash me for this) Deus Ex. I even have original copy of it. Just never really played it more than 10 minutes. I was like 10yo when it came out and it wasnt interesting me. Guess its time for it now Laughing
btw. Finished world of goo. Hope they will make another one

Then the time has come to finally play it Very Happy

I'd also suggest System Shock 2 and Fallout 1/2. Wink

Thats crazy doom. Asylum map and zombies survival mode IN DOOM ?:O

And any other good multiplayer games? Belive or not but Ive never played multiplayer as long as I play games... which is over 14 years. I am SP person, so I could also use any tips not too look like total noob. Only played bit of Painkiller, Fear and Enemy territory back in a days.

I think KB is bit too steep for 3150 GMA. It runs barely 20-30fps on 3470 radeon, which is much better notebook card.

Nethack, Angband (and all of it's derivates), ToME, dungeon crawl stone soup, Doom RL, Doom 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Iji, Cave Story, La Mulana, Liberal Crime Squad, (I suppose Dwarf Fortress would run like crap sooner or later), Minesweeper (more fun than it should be), Puzzle Quest, about everything a NES/SNES/GBA/Sega emulator can run, if you got an internet connection and about an hour or so of time Space Station 13.
And of course everything that was mentioned before.

What's the ScummVM system requirements like these days? That ought to keep you busy for a while if it does work.

FWIW, I thought Torchlight was childish crap. You're much better off with Diablo I & II (and II has some great mods like Eastern Sun if you're bored with vanilla).

Yeah, Torchlight was barely playable in some areas on my laptop, which has GMA 945 and a good processor. Someone posted earlier, that GMA 945 is much better than 3150.

i have a NC10, i understand your need Very Happy

i think it's gma950 though (and of course atom)

recently i've been playing plants vs Zombies a lot but a lot of games can run on this netbook
most of emulators run fine i guess (always nice to play mario bros or double dragon)
world of goo
quake 3 arena run surprinslingly well (i have a portable version, so i can easily share it and play with friends)
counter strike 1.6 runs too, quite well, but sometimes i have lag spikes that some people might dislike
i also have age of empire 2
carmaggedon
worms 2
Dooms and Rise Of The Triad (epicest game ever)
flatout runs (like shit imo)


i'll try super meatboy

Actually, they should be pretty much the same (with 3150 being slightly better).

Of course, if you compare netbook versions of it. Those GMAs on regular motherboards work on higher clocks, and thus perform better.

I was talking about a laptop with GMA, not a netbook. Do laptops also have reduced clocks ?

Sure. But it is even more for netbooks.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-950.2177.0.html

Quote:
The GMA 950 is integrated in the following chipsets with different rendering clock rates (that affect the 3D performance):

* 945GU: 133 MHz (Lakeport for Intel A100 and A110)
* 945GSE: 166 MHz (for Atom)
* 945GMS: 166 MHz / 250 MHz (1.05V)
* 940GML 166 MHz / 200 MHz (1.05V) - Celeron M (ULV)
* 943GML: 200 MHz
* 945GM: 250 MHz (Calistoga)
* 945G, 945GC, 945GZ: 400 MHz (Lakeport)


That's 50% higher clock in regular laptops.


P.S.
400MHz is in desktop variant.
