Gaming on the Ubuntu Netbook?

When your thinking about Gaming I don't think Linux and Netbook are the first things that come to mind. But I'm going to show you can have some fun with the Penguin powered netbook after all!

@TheDestroyerx1 %95 of all netbooks have all the same basic hardware so it should be the exact same

@MN12BIRD i have a laptop with ati 4200 mobility is that good for gaming

[MN12BIRD]

@kris10ish Not for modern games. It's just AMD's basic onboard graphics it's not a dedicated GPU for gaming.

[kris10ish]

@MN12BIRD well i can play crysis but its not on board its mobility and also can play nearly every game on high

[MN12BIRD]

@kris10ish Radeon 4200 is onboard. It's part of the AMD 785G North Bridge. Mobility just means Radeon gaphics in a notebook it has nothing to do with being IGP "onboard" or a dedicated GPU and Radeon 3200,4200, 4250 are all similar IGP "onboard" graphics. It's pretty good for onboard though and onboard IGP's can still have dedicated video memory not always shared. Just because it's not a dedicated GPU doesn't mean it sucks look at the new Radeon HD6250's they're pretty damn good IGPs.

For a better test, I would recommend playing Combat Arms on it. It's definitely a much better test of what ubuntu can do.

you dont need to be a linux expert, and, if you want to run Command & Conquer on netbook, you want to go to cnc-comm(dot)com and find some info about a project called DDraw
