I have one as well although I don't use it for gaming, the main problem with gaming on this netbook is that the CPU is really really slow so games that are very CPU dependent won't run well.

Solitaire is about all that's good for. Most 3D games of the last several years will not be very playable, and if they are will look like crap on that tiny screen anyways.

Actually, ION can play a lot of 3D games at medium to low settings, depending on title, and play them quite well. Remember, it's still a Geforce 9400M chip. It's world's better than Intel's IGPs of yesteryear and better than the Corei5's IGP by decent margins as well. It will put up a fight.
