Eee PC 900 A - Games and touch screen demo

[Meex2021]

I had Halo up and running on my 900a before I saw this video, but I tried Killing Floor before and it didn't work. I have mine overclocked with the default program to 1.7 GHz, but it gets real choppy, even with the settings all the way down. Can someone help

@Meex2021

I'm not sure, Meex. I don't have my 900a anymore. I don't remember overclocking or doing anything special at all to get Killing Floor running well, other than turning the resolution way down.

how did you get your home looking like windows at 0:10 i can't change my picture or anything it's awful.

I forget the name of the theme, and the deviant art profile I downloaded it from. You can install lots of homemade themes if you patch uxtheme.dll

Just google UXTheme Patcher, you'll find the right utility, and probably a whole mess of themes to try out.

I wander if you could play wow with touchscreen software?

@LIVERLADD

You could probably use a touch screen to click into menus and stuff. Wouldn't count on steering your toon with it though :P

I wish I had tried wow on that netbook while I still had it.

how do you install games on a netbook?? I want to instal wow !

[zombiejournals]

I use Nero (the 'Burning Rom' application I think it's called) to turn the data on the game disc into an .ISO file. Then I run the .ISO with Daemon Tools Light.

What was the model for the SSD upgrade? Just got one from sellout.woot so I'm looking to upgrade

whats the name of the program u used to install the touchscreen?

[zombiejournals]

The program is called TouchKit: USB Controller, but I believe it is specific only to the TouchKit I purchased from Ebay. I added a link in my video description to the touchkit I purchased (well, a similar touchkit from the same seller)

I installed a touchscreen on my 900A as well. How did you connect it to the internal webcam port and enable it? I have mine plugged in over usb on the outside and it is quite annoying. Thanks for your help!

[zombiejournals]

The touch screen kit came with its own small circuit board. This board plugs into the webcam's USB port on the motherboard. You can enable or disable webcam in the BIOS

The circuit board also has 3 extra usb ports, which can then be used to reinstall your webcam or other USB devices. I took the oportunity to install an internal bluetooth dongle as well.

Nice little review. I'll be getting a netbook soon, similar spec to the majority of them; 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM and a 120GB SATA HDD. I've been looking for fun games to play, and I've built up quite a list.

...It runs Killing Floor surprisingly well. :o
