PC Portable, unnamed

Whoa, wait, overclocking and playing TF2 @ 30fps? Please, please, I want info on this, I'm suddenly very interested!

 

[AfroLH]

No way. This bad boy can do Crysis.
I got 25FPS, Overclocked, on lowest settings.

Oblivion ran perfect on all lowest settings, and ran perfect with the Oldblivion Mod on High.

Portal ran perfect at reccomended settings

I got that bad boy overclocked to 2.2 GhZ and it just tore it up.

Here's a list of games that can/can't run on it:

The NVidia ION is an AMAZING platform.

 

[AfroLH]

Yeah, Bibin.

I had My Netbook Overclocked to 2.2 GhZ, and TF2 running at medium settings, 800x600, DX8 Mode and I got 30+ FPS

So after you install Windoz you can just plug in a USB controller?

 

[Bibin]

Oh, the ion. I thought you meant the piece of flax GMA950 netbooks.

 

[Mako321]

mine is an intel 945

Yup! I am using a generic PS2 clone from DX, board can be trimmed pretty small, but more importantly, it is very, very thin. I will probably put it under the LCD.

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Ha! I knew it was the the Ion that could run Crysis! And you all thought I was crazy!

Palmer, I want to buy one of those things that you linked to, but for two reasons I will not.
1. I'm 20 short
2. I would have no clue what to do with it.

One more insane palmer project to add to the list

What's better for the same price for this purpose:

This

Or an EEE701

depends what you wanna do with it. same processor/gpu and stuff, but the eee is bigger, and has a real kkeyboard and all. it also has bigger screen and battery.

(typed this on mine )

that doodad, on the other hand, is more portable, but less usable in its original form. but if you wanna do what palmy is doing, its better.

 

[PalmerTech]

It is absolutely useless for anything in the original form.

 

[Mako321]

get a 900ha, it's a 900 model with a 1.6ghz intel atom instead of 600mhz or so celeron.

 

[samjc3]

the celeron is actually 900 mhz, but its underclocked to 524mhz or so. i overclocked mine up to 1ghz, and its fine, albeit a bit short on battery life.

 

[Mako321]

okay, that.

 

[snowpenguin]

Palmer told me the celeron in the 701 is better than the usual atom.

 

[PalmerTech]

Yeah, the Celeron is better for gaming, since it supports out of order operations. The Atom has multithreading support, which makes it far, far better at multi-tasking, but from a gaming point of view, the Celeron is a wee bit better than the Atom.

So what will your EEE 701 become, Palmer?
