VO on MSI Wind U100 Netbook

Mar 19, 2009 Karacus link
I have a MSI Wind U100 netbook. One of those $299 - $400 10" laptop type machines. Not my only laptop but great to carry around because of it's small size and long batter life.

OS:Windows XP home SP3.
CPU: Intel(R) Atom N270 1.6Ghz
Ram: 2gb (standard is 1gb)
HDD: 160gb 5400rpm
Graphics: Mobile Intel(R)945 Express
Internet: Wireless or Lan

I thought I would try VO on it as I use it while waiting at hospitals for appointments. I must say that this game runs well even on this low spec machine. I was impressed.

One problem I did get was screen artifacts from the asteroids.

I found a fix. Set Options > Video > Shader Capabilities to OFF.

Hope this helps others with the MSI Wind or low spec Intel graphics.
Great game. I subscribed :)

I will post this on the MSI Wind forum.
