OT: Notebook OS

Arakiel said:The OS isn't going to matter with that machine. Your problem is going to be the video card. 256 shared on a 1ghz machine is likely to be slow as hell for modern games no matter what OS you have on it. I'm in serious doubt if you could even play Doom 3 at all. Evil Genium i'm not familiar with but I believe it is 3d, yes? The shared video memory is gong to slow you down with any 3d game.

That sounds a lot like my system. Reasonable games run fine for me.
The Evil Genious demo at least runs nice and only slows down when a multiple blocks of C4 or landmines go off in my base.
Doom 3 is brutal even on newer machines.

SE4, meanwhile runs fine on my 166Mhz laptop with 48 megs of ram or so, and is much more entertaining that Doom3 from what I've seen.

PS: 98 all the way!
