Later this month I'm due to buy a replacement for my aging Palm m500. I'll be buying a Palm LiveDrive. It has 4 Gb onboard memory and I'll be purchasing a 2 Gb SD card with it. LiveDrives can also function as a USB drive so my intention is to have SEIV installed on that and run games off it.

When I get it all together, I'll try to remember to post it's performance.

You installed SE IV on your palm? Wow! Did it work. Does that mean I can install SE IV on my HP HX4700 too?

Just to share with everyone: just bought an Asus EEE 4G and installed XP and SEIV in it and it works perfectly! The turn processing time is smaller than i tought possible, in fact it processes at the about the same speed as my old 1.4 GHZ Duron desktop...

Now i finally have SEIV in a really portable format...

I'm glad you did resurrect this topic because I forgot all about installing SEIV on my LifeDrive to see if the DriveMode would work...

No, I haven't but only because I forgot about it. Now I'm going to though and I'll let you know how it works.

Those Asus machines look great, I was thinking about getting one instead of a new laptop, but I need something with more screenage.

Do they run on Crystalline technology, as we would all expect from any EEE technology?

For me it is perfect, as i needed a machine small enough to fit in my suitcase with space for all the documents i need to take with me everywhere and still be able to work with .doc and .xls files on the go...

The battery life is good enough for me (typically around 3 hours for what i use) so i donīt need to search power outlets when i need to use it and, as a side benefit, i can use it to play SEIV and other games i like...

Now my next step is to buy a 4gb or 8gb SD card so i can play Baldurīs Gate II in it...
