I'm assuming E-Machines? If so and it's comparable to something brand new from walmart it should run WoW or similar programs just fine (as long as it's the $400.00 plus version). Usually one of these budget PCs and a mid-grade praphics card (ie between 8-120 bucks) is more than sufficient for your "average" gamer.

Just make sure it has PCI-E slots and preferably able to upgrade to 4 gig ram since ram is nice and cheap to upgrade on those cheap rigs.

No, EEE PC is a completely seperate brand. It stands for Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play. http://eeepc.asus.com/global/index.html

They are crap though when it comes to gaming, they are just tiny, very tiny, laptops, with limited everything.

A few of the specs I saw had a 900Mhz processor and 1GB of RAM, they didn't list the graphics card, so I'm assuming it's proprietary and integrated, meaning it won't do well with games. Probably wouldn't have TnL for the graphics card, making it not compatible with many games.

It's a glorified portable DVD player and PDA. Definitely not made for gaming.

I highly doubt it.

RAM and Graphics Card is what matters, and that is where those Eee PCs fail.

It has dedicated GFX and 2gb RAM. It has two GFX cards one for the OS and one for GFX.

Which still runs at 64Mb on the video.

I have a EeePC that I use as a service machine because you just can't beat the portability when you have to go fix machines and need a computer.

Plus Linux runs amazing on it.

Short answer Lobo, no it won't run it. You can use it for older games but WoW not so much.
