To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it should work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single-Rail/Non-Modular PSUs are not always better than Multi-Rail/Modular

All the half-life 1 games run good on them. If you search youtube for EEE games there are a lot of videos showing some old games on netbooks.

If you can get into their beta 90% of those games should run flawlessly and actually look nice due to the lower native res of those tiny screens. Also you cant beat DRM free
