Half-life 1 (not HL:Source!)

Evil_Mercenary checks out HL1 on his GMA500 powered Asus EEEPC 1101HA.

He reports "runs perfectly well on software rendering on this hardware: about 20-30 fps depending on workload. though if you overclock the processor (as you can out of the box with this netbook) by about 20%, you can achieve about 40fps. the reason i say you should use software rendering is because openGL crashes (not supported by latest driver) and D3D is unbelieveably slow (fairly unusual for software to be faster) still, using this method, the whole game is playable. a great classic worth playing again."
