Very smoothly actually, with ION, you can play some games on medium graphics, other games (like COD4) at low.
Windows 7 x64 even runs well on 1GB, although I am unsure of the Atom's compatibility with 64 bit.

1GB is all you really need, especially on a netbook. Windows 7 x86 is even quite usable in a 512MB environment, just no heavy applications (Which one really shouldn't be doing on a netbook at any rate).]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/

But but I was told Windows 7 could easily run on a Pentium II with 64MB of RAM?? Surely 1 GB would be more than enough.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/

Not quite. Microsoft mandated that WINDOWS XP HOME machines only ship with 1GB of RAM, otherwise vendors could not ship XP. They definitely did not want to ship Vista on the netbooks, so they all went with the 1GB max.

If they ship with Windows 7 the 1GB RAM limit no longer applies (though they probably have to cut some corners in order to qualify for Windows 7 Starter).]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/

The hinge design looks stupid to me. It reduces the depth, which brings the keyboard forward and leaves less space for the trackpad, which would make it smaller.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/Dec 21st 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/

The only disappointing part of it is the trackpad. Probably the worst one I have ever used. It looks like its the same one on these new models.

Not much near here to make me regret my discounted purchase.]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/new-dell-inspiron-mini-10-debuts-features-atom-n450/I made mine into a hackintosh, which I'm fairly sure this new model will not support, as none of the other Mini 10s support it.

Are you using the latest netbook installer? I have found things improved in RC4+ but the trackpad is still bad.
