Netbooks have to have seriously capped memory and processor speeds to meet
Microsoft's discounted XP licensing. I'd hesitate to use them for gaming
unless you're sure the new netbook is faster than your current laptop. One
thing that's often overlooked is the front side bus speed. Everything might

Hi.
Walmart doesn't exist on this side of the atlantic, also, sinse part of the
reason I was considdering a netbook in the first place was portability, a
thin portable wouldn't be as useful. I will however look for something with
a decent sound card etc.
I was thinking in the region of 300
Hi Jason.
well this isn't sounding so cheerful in general. i'd be interested to know
how to check specs more generally. The model I find myself looking at now is
the samsung n140, which comes with 270 ghz speed and either windows xp or
windows 7 (though i'd go for xp), and boasts good sound
Hi.
well, as it looks like the netbook business will be problematic, I might
considder a slimline laptop instead, however I'm concerned about program
compatibility.
Most audio games I've heard will run under windows 7, so that isn't a
problem, niether will brouser based games be
Not sure, but I know there are quite a few applications in general that are

Hey Dark,
If you're happy with your current laptop aside from hard drive space,
surely the cheapest solution would be to just upgrade the HDD in your
existing laptop? Going on it's age I'd say almost any 2.5 IDE drive
should do the trick, and they're not too tricky to change as a rule.
It'd be
Some versions of windows 7 has an xp mode, that makes it possible to run
programs in an xp environment. It reminds me of the command prompt in other
windows versions that was intended to run dos programs among other things.

Hi Scot.
well that is true. i already use a 200 gb external usb drive for backup
purposes.
The other reason i was considdering netbooks though, --- and one which a
second drive wouldn't particularly help with, is portability. i tend to
carry my laptop to lots of places, including down the
Hi Dark,
Yah, logic would assume that the mobo and onboard sound and the like
would be the same chipsets, and I can't argue with the portability
factor. I haven't looked at the specs of the N140, but can do so
tomorrow when I'm back on proper internet if there's anything you're
not sure of.

Hi Scot.
well, I'm certainly not planning to rush into buying anything before i know
exactly what I'm getting. If you could take a look at the specs and give any
illuminating comments that would be appreciated, perhaps if your friend
is willing you could ask them to try the demo version
Hi Dark,
Well, I've managed to do some research between the time I wrote you
last, and it would appear some of my information on the ssd drives was
wrong. Thanks to a post from someone off list he sent me a link to an
article found on Wikipedia comparing conventional hard drives to solid
Hi Dark,
Well, I've tried Winfrotz on Windows 7, and it works fine. Not sure
about the others though as I don't have them, and haven't tried them
personally. Although, I certainly could install and try them for you if
you need me to.

Hi tom.
thanks for checking. i was banking on the basis that audio games,

gigantic processing speed or huge ram, however lack of sound card
doesn't sound as well (ha ha), especially sinse I want the netbook for

Hello,
That is not necessarily true. According to many posts on the accesible
Iphone lists, there are several games which are accessible enough to
play. All of the Stormaid (not sure of spelling) games are accessible.
They sound like role-playing type games. There are also easy games which
Hi Dark,
No problem. All I can really say hear is I've looked at a few netbooks
myself a few months back, and I wasn't too impressed by them. Wal-Mart
and Best Buy, for example, is nutorious for writing up a list of
specifications that sound good on paper, but totally ignore the little
Hi Dark,
Hmmm...I've had some pretty good luck with Toshiba laptops over the

complaints. My Compaq laptop on the other hand has had some rather
