Solved! Retroish gaming on the go?

[EightBitBruiser]

I'm thinking net-book, but am unfamiliar with the ATOM processors. I'm looking for portable solution for old school games like X-COM, Starcraft (1), Longest Journey, you know the old classics. Just want something to play them with on trips for nostalgia Any way does anyone have any experience running older games on net-books? If so which model, upgrades do you recommend??

Thanks any feedback would be great!

Hello EB;

There's more out there in 'Netbooks than Atom these days.

ASUS Eee PC 1215T Athlon II Neo K125(1.70GHz) 12.1" 1366x768 w/ Radeon HD 4250 graphics 2GB RAM 320GB HDD $380
Still definitely not a gaming system but it can expand your game choices a bit beyond XCOM and Starcraft.

Another contender:

Low-Power Gaming: AMD's E-350 Vs. Intel Atom D525 And Ion 2
