Gaming on the HP 2133 Mini-Note

[paperpencil]

can i run PSOBB on hp mini 210?

[djnavasv14]

you can play Max Payne 2 with high settings

[Tomtvtv123]

Thanks for making the index thing clearer!!

[richardmcginty]

I've tested Age of Empires 2 myself on the Mini 2133 - it runs great. But from the looks of your video, San Andreas is too slow. What a shame :(

[Zambaku]

Can it run WoW?

[dEnCe17]

thanks for sharing!

does all of this games installed at the same time or you install it if you want to play it? example.. can i install both diablo2 and red alert2 at the same time?

pardon my English.

[warioatthetoilet]

How did you got GTA SA working

[eTristan1996]

Mine can hardly run portal on low.

[narnianking2002]

HI. may i know where i can get a good download of DIABLO 2 for my hp mini note PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! thank you:)

[etoangfavoriteko]

I'm Surprised. Even if it is very slow, it has a high storage capacity of 150 Gb.

[makotomikami]

I only bught it 'cause it looked cute XD but now i wanna see if i can get the 2 gig RAM card 'cause movies lag a lot

[yespleasefen]

That's Red Alert 2 btw.

[diegodjkr]

how do i need to have this mazin games in mi hp 2140?? please tellmeeee

[MultiMasterLink]

how do u put games on it without a disk drive? :/

[DannyVanegas]

external? downloading them? transfering by usb, etc. a lot of ways to do it...

[MrLight2500]

Yeah The HP 2133 Mini-Note

is so great i have one xD and i have halo and GTA San Andreas X)

[AlejoSSR]

@MrLight2500

[ghimu1]

[strike4may]

man plz answer me do u advise me to but this laptop and does this games will realy work plz answer me thnks

[gleboff]

umm... hes running it, so im guessing it works.

i hear the hp mini is one of the better netbooks.

[btheman11]

can it play World Of Warcraft if it can plz tell me

[endhalf]

Well yes, u can, but it's a bit laggy, so... It's good for starting new charr and getting first 50-60 lvls, but not for raids, or anything like that :-). I had this netbook with 1.6Ghz processor and 1GB of ram...

[ivarquest]

wow runs with about 10-30 fps @ 800x600 and everything put to low

[klxian10]

how bout fifa??

[boonpaLindved]

Get a "HP Notebook Mini-Note 2140 Vista"

I got one <:o)

[musicmaniac32]

I still don't understand how you're running games in 800x600 if the resolution is 1024x576.

Or does this actually have 1024x600?

[CWasko36]

The original Mini-note had a resolution of 1280x768

[musicmaniac32]

Wow. Thanks for the response!

Whatever possessed hp to change over to this effed up resolution? :-(

[RiVaLSSJ]

i'm honestly surprised that it plays halo and san andreas as well as it does...

thanks for the video though! i was curious if netbooks could actually play games

[fimozzz]

same problem as the last commentator...could not initialize graphics system....could you please tell us more about installation of AOE2! as none of the solutions on the web help(( if any1 else had the same problem and fixed it please tell us!!! would be greatly appreciated

[UEadministrator]

What resolution are u using or did u download any new version of graphics driver? Cause when i started Age of empire II it give me error: Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

[theinhtun1]

this is like having awesome games on a nintendo ds, except better

[bubblzzz4]

How can i get wow on it??? is there a disk slot?

[RatchetandClankNXTG3]

its a mini. it has no optical drive! duuuuh....

[sandfire1on1]

If you register your cdkey with blizzard you can download the client from them.

[rapps143]

what is the graphic card?

[v1lle3]

Via Chrome9

[rapps143]

what?

[v1lle3]

Yes, it´s the graphics card. In newer models it has Intel GMA945 or 950.

[theofficalmiga]

If you happen to have Half-Life 2, can you do a gaming video of that? I want to see how smoothly it can run, as I'm planning to buy one of these.

[hazzaskate]

how do you play the games on the hp 2133 mini note

[RatchetandClankNXTG3]

put the game on a usb drive

[aluxious]

runs faster than i expected. thanks for this video, very useful.

[CFB972]

thanks helped alot

[nicks1258]

what r the specs on this one?

[magicmagician1]

what do u mean downgrade cd there is no such thing!

[armandomeabe]

Thanks! Great review

[fatgoogle007]

im thinking about getting but how to get the game on there because it dont have a disk drive the 1 that im getting is £200 from pc world uk. and can you down load prgrams like itunes and microsoft office 2008. and can i get music on it bu memory stick??? thanks

[CWasko36]

Either use a USB CD/DVD rom Drive or rip the ISO to a memory card.

[aidanhd]

seems like quite a powerful laptop 4 its size

[Buttmunch5000]

Command and Conquer: Red Alert is a great game still play it regularly , that and starcraft, and prob gta vice city are the games that are needed on every netbook

[daniboy1995]

is this the 1.6ghz or 1.2ghz?

[scarffstone]

Which version of XP are you running?

[CWasko36]

XP Pro

[mrtncrespo1]

o just ordered mine today, and since u have one, do you know if it will run windows vista AERO?? im just curious because i've heard it can't

[CWasko36]

Yes it will run AERO but it really slows the system down.

[mrtncrespo1]

alright thanks... when it arrives im planning to install 2gb of RAM and 200gb HDD, do you think that will help the performance?

[CWasko36]

Yes, the RAM will definitely help

[mrtncrespo1]

ok thx

[Nuxunumo]

u think it could run lord of the rings online well?

[rmelbomega2007]

mine works well as it runs in windows xp not vista.

[PortableHacker]

Ermm.... would this run sims 2 fine??

[magicmagician1]

no way but sims 1 should work

[Kr00lplatinum]

The games are a bit older but they're all classics and awesome! It would be nice if you could post what the FPS for all the games were... you know using Fraps.

Nice Video!

[magicmagician1]

do you run halo in safe mode?

[MichiNoName]

Thanks very informative

[Radebar]

Stronghold is for me the best stragic Game ever.

Sorry for my Crappy English.

[ProPlayerFIN]

LOL runescape sucks but it work good and runescape works in all computers it sucks!

[LordAjanin]

should runescape work on HP 2133 Mini-Note ?

[habbomichael]

cant it run counter strike 1.6

[richardmcginty]

Hey, How do you get to run your 2133 so fast? It's unbelievable. I've got windows xp on mine, 1,6ghz and 2GB of ram but it's as slow as a bitch. It's only about a month and a half old s I don't understand why it should be that slow.

Help anyone?

Btw, Doom 1 and 2 run like a charm on this baby, although World of Warcraft is a bit choppy, but it runs.

[superkid24]

This can play WoW better than EEE pc?

[aullaralaluna]

hey tell me how did you install these games if the HP 2133 doesnt have any CD-ROM??????¿?¿?

[richardmcginty]

You can buy an external DVD-RAM, you plug it in through USB

[aullaralaluna]

Thank you. But now I prefer to buy a normal pc.

Not this little expensive palm

[OverCookedDelinquint]

Hey CWasko36 could you tell us what crack you use to run those games of you're harddrive?

[CWasko36]

Just search from Google "NOCD" and the name of the game. I think the websites are Gamecopyworld and Gameburnworld that provide them.

[andyschannel17]

Crack? why would you need a crack to do that? you just make a disc image of your game, mount it in daemon tools and play!

[reflar22]

Are you using 1 gb ram or 2g?

[CWasko36]

2GB

[groupbloggers]

Has anyone played the sims 2 on the hp 2133?

[SMGJohn]

Yes i have. It worked almost but i drive Vista on my PC becuse i love vista and that how it is

[OverCookedDelinquint]

Anybody want to give me their opinion on getting the 160GB 5400rpm Hard Drive or the 120GB 7200rpm Hard Drive? Is trading space for speed worth it? Or is the speed difference really not that huge of a deal?

[Matenrou89]

Get the 160gb 5400rpm. Having a 7200rpm will make the computer too hot.

[hmoob7]

40 gigs is a lot of space. I would get that. You wanna squeeze all the value you can.

[OverCookedDelinquint]

But doesen't 1800rpm make you're computer start up and do other things alot faster?

[CWasko36]

No, the small jump in speed is not worth losing the extra storage, increase in heat, and loss of battery power. You will be fine with the 5400 drive.

[M1cR0S0fT4Ev3r]

Halo Runs great, I dont see why you say its not that good.... Its not choppy at all.

This is a great laptop considering I can fit it in my pocket. xD

[DahBjorn]

does anyone have a smart idea for how to downgrade this thing? considering the downgrade software is on cd, and it doesnt come with a cd tray :S rip cd's to iso,move and mount? hook the hp up to some pc with cd tray via USB cable?

[CWasko36]

Either use an external USB CD/DVD Drive or use a USB stick to load Windows XP.  Just google search for loading XP using a USB Drive on a mini-note, there are some guides out there.

[OverCookedDelinquint]

You can buy external cd/dvd drives that can be hooked up via usb.

[Bernieboy60]

Hi. I just wonder, since it aint got a cd rom, how do you watch videos at this pc? I might get one for christmas :'D

[CWasko36]

Rip them from the DVD to a AVI/MPG file

[groupbloggers]

Buy an external DVD/CD RW Drive for about £20

[Odinthorsen]

did you upgrade it from vista to xp? how did you do that?

[piratapan]

YOu got that computer pluged in to another screen right? PM plz.

[CWasko36]

Nope, that is the mini-note screen right there.

[iron9413]

great video but where you can find games for a mininote?

[CWasko36]

huh?

[mutblue]

Sims 2 is hopeless on the 2133. unplayable. am bummed

[tinojay007]

thx for the video

[zstee18]

is this the 1.2 or 1.6ghz modle?

[CWasko36]

1.6ghz

[20graffiti08]

hi great vid are those games portable could ya tell me where ya got them from plzzzz cheers!!!:)

[iYvehc]

very nice thank you. Now im definatly gonna get one

[CWasko36]

Wait for the end of the year, there is probably a Nano version that will be released soon.

[iYvehc]

tempting!?!?

[elgilicious]

I've also done some PC gaming on the Mini-Note. Old point-and-click adventure titles (like those from the Zork series) play smoothly, as do 2D RTS games. Civilization IV runs like molasses, but anything before 2003 should run fine.

[redCode526]

great job,thanks

[cehawe]

Yes thanx, greatly appreciated.

What about trying WoW?

[Antphoneigh]

thanks for this!

[uzaku1]

cool, I'm waiting for the 300 dollar Dell E Slim cause I don't got enough money for the mininote :(

[lohoz]

How can Gta san andreas run so fast on the hp mini even the eee pc could not handle the speed

[lohoz]

is this really hp mini???

[lohoz]

Hey Check out my videos i also have n hp mini but it runs alot slower than yours AKA playing halo 1

Please Relpy And What Is Your Configuration for the hp mini????

[CWasko36]

1.6GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive. Windows XP SP2, Check the video for the video settings for each game.

[CWasko36]

The min-note is running Windows XP SP2. All the games were initially installed from an external drive and then I ripped the installation disc to an ISO and played the games using the ISO mounted to a virtual drive using PowerISO.

[killervalonz]

Vista uses ALOT MORE THAN THESE GAMES

These are basicly 2d

[lohoz]

You should just copy the games from the disk and install the games and just copy the games from c:/program files/microsoft games/halo/: example

[ceralkill3r]

r u using lynix or wat

[andreas04]

yes it is linux with a vista theme ........

[outerspit55]

rofl

[loveisinmyheart]

did you use an external drive to install those games?

[electonicshock]

DANG!!! UR TRIGGER HAPPY
