Anyone have one of those or something of similiar specs running WinUAE or other emulators (VICE etc).

spihunter:

I read about that.  I'll have to give it a shot.  Thanks for the reminder.

So the sound is also played back without being choppy, etc?  I chose the MSI because after a BIOS update it can be overclocked and run stable at 1.9ghz.  

I'll let you'all know how it runs.

I just ordered the MSI in the above link.  I also bought a usb 320gig USB powered HD.   I'm going to leave Windows on it for now and overclock it.  I'll post up after I install WinUAE and run a few tests on it.

might have to return this thing.. man, emulating an A500, ks 1.3 and running the crack intro to Star Control II is terrible.  Sound is very choppy, video is slow.

EDIT: I can speed up video but audio is still poor.. man.. I hope I dont have to return this thing..

I have WindowsXP on it.  I'd only put OSX if UAE worked better.  Otherwise I dont know what benefit OSX would have.

well I just installed openSuSE 11.1 on my MSI and I tried the cracked version of StarControl w/the Paradox intro.. no problems.  No choppy sound or video.  I dont think it was the settings because I tried the simplest settings under Windows XP on this netbook and even skipped frames to no avail.
I guess E-UAE runs better than WinUAE under XP on this netbook.
