compared to other distros it is hard unless you activate the ADE which alot of people cant do. i didnt and i got wine running fine but it took alot of time which alot of people dont like, and its those kind of people that will by an eeepc cuz its cheap.
im not tupid with linux, ive used alot of types including non GUI ones so dont say its cuz i have no experience with the unix kernel
If you're going to play games on it why linux? You won't get much working then. Also if vista ran that smooth on the EeePC and was able to play games that well why not vista?
The Eee looks like a decent little machine for the money, but personally I'm holding off for the 12 gig 9" model. I've tried a couple 700s but found the screen a little cramped. (Especially since most web pages assume you've got 1024x768 nowadays.)
But still, running games and emulators this well on an ultraportable laptop with a 900mhz processor, all for under $500? Tech sure has come a long way since I got my Powerbook Duo.
You should take a look at the Flipstart, not only have I been running many N64 games on it flawlessly, I have also been playing Halo, Jedi Outkast, Swat 4, C&C, Renegade. I have about 30 games installed to its hard disk.
Thank you, one more question though, if i already have a computer with windows xp would there be any way to copy it and put it on a disk or a thumb drive(USB) to put on another laptop or computer?
Nope that wont be possible. You cant take a installed xp and save it on anything to use as an installer.
You will need a xp install cd/dvd. Many ppl just download it though i cant reccomend that as its illegal ;)
Remember, for installing xp off of a cd/dvd you will need a external dvd/cd rom since the Eee pc does not have an optical drive. Simple fix is to buy a 20$ dvd rom for a full size pc and stick it in a external enclosure. Thats what i did.
That is so cool! It's hard to believe that a budget computer can run a 64 game so smoothly. Even my semi-powerful desktop has trouble with full screen. It is amazing how much technology has advanced! I can't wait for my Cloudbook now.
Yes using XP, no doesnt lag at all. Boots xp in about 15-18 seconds, everything runs quite fast. (i am using 2gb ddr2 667 ram) Ill post up a vid of boot times along with general xp use to show the speed. Very smooth.
Honestly its as easy as on any pc. Im not using any special drivers or any sort of "hacks or mods" its the normal eee pc out of the box. Only thing i did was up the ram to 2gb.
Very easy to run in full screen. Some games by default go full screen, some wont fit the screen 100%. Runs great!
