    Anyone with an X200 tablet, if you by chance have battlefield 1942, would you be so kind as to benchmark it and post the results? I would be forever grateful. :) I'm so close to buying this, but I want to be sure it will run fine.
    Also, if you could run 3dmark06 that would be also appreciated. Thanks if you can help. :)

    I don't have the game but I have to believe it would run fairly well.

    It only requires a 500MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, and a 32MB GPU w/ HTL. This was easily within the specs of my T40 in 2003 and should run without any issues on the x200 Tablet. If anyone was able to get this to run on ANY laptop with the x4500MHD then you'll be fine as that's the only potential issue (should be fast enough but Intel's drivers can be a bit quirky sometimes).

    The 3D Mark 06 score for my x200 Tablet is 870 (257 SM 2.0, 356 SM 3.0, 1546 CPU). This test was run in XP with driver version 6.14.10.4957.

    You've dealt with all the technical requirements and the synthetic benchmark comparisons in the past and all of it did point to the u150 being able to play BF1942. But even with all the evidence that it should work it was a different story in game.

    So definitely wait until someone's tests the game for you. If there's a demo for the game, maybe link to it.

    Thanks jon. :)

    @aznguyphan, that's a great idea! Here's a link to the bf1942 single player demo, Tobruk map (which would be a GREAT indicator of performance).

    In the retail version, you could just bring down the console (tilde), and type 'console.showfps 1', and it will show a bunch of statistics, I don't know if it will work in the demo though. :\

    And Jon, if you would be so kind to download the demo and test it (especially since you have XP), I'd appreciate it. I'm targeting 800x600x16 @ medium settings. :)
