Very nice list. I am wondering if Unreal Tournament will have a big lag. I am waiting for my MSI, and I hope it will come friday.

I just got my msi wind yesterday and I tried some gaming. Max Payne 1 runs very smoothly, no stuttering what so ever.
Also tried out Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and I run it on default settings, without lowering anything, and atleast the first two missions (prologue) runs perfectly smoothly, but I think that big battles will most likely cause stuttering.

@Bayen: I am waiting for my too, and I hope it will come sooner they told me ( 30 of August ).
@Gary: Counter-strike 1.6 steam doesn’t require very much performance from what i know.
@kane: My pleasure.
@Ergolius: I envy you. I can’t wait to test games on my little machine

Will some one please elaborate on how well GTA SA runs on this? Is there any slow downs, stuttering, frame rate drops etc?

you should probably add halo 1, as I think it would run smoothly on the msi wind. cheers

“you should probably add halo 1, as I think it would run smoothly on the msi wind. cheers”
Is this a list of supposed games or actually tested games? The only ones not listed that come to mind (assuming this is a fully tested list) are Civ3, Thief, WoW and Starcraft.
I figure if it plays WC3 then it will run SC and FEAR is significantly more taxing than Thief. So Civ3 and WoW are all that remains in flux.
Thanks in advance
