thanks for all the replys , I understand the nc10 is not a games machine , my question was really why the machine can not run games that an asus 701 could run no problem , surely the nc10 has higher specs than the old 701 , the asus 701 had a celeron if I remember right , could it be the atom chip that is throttling the GMA graphics card , I dont know , it just seems a bit weird seeing as they both have very similar cards but the nc10 has a much faster processor , I do like to push my gadgets to the extreme , all my gadgets run stuff you would not think they were cabable of , my ds runs ATARI os , my ipod was running a full Mac os , and my PSP was capable of runnings windows 95 , I just feel I should have got another asus , the only reason I got this nc10 was based on the battery life , wich I have found out is not the case as I have the crappy 3 cell battery , a word of advice to anyone buying one of the samsungs on sale in the uk at the moment , double check its a 6 cell or you will be dissapointed with the battery life , anyway I will keep tweaking the new baby and see if I cant get some hacked graphics drivers to work , this and 3d analyse might get some of my games running , by the way I use my lappy mostly for music production on the go , so I thank jeepers01 for the advice regarding the asio driver FAQ i will have a look at it and see what im doing wrong , failing that there is always th external soundcard I have lying around .
nice one guys
