Hi all, im posting this topic in hope that others can help me with my request, as well as me giving games tips to others that follow the same circumstances. Basically, I want to know what games can run on low spec laptops, as well as running Windows 7.
I currently have an Asus Eee PC 1005HA and recently upgraded both my ram (1GB to 2GB) and my operating system (Windows XP to Windows 7). Under these conditions I am obviously limited to what games I can run on the laptop. It isn't necessarily a big deal as I love the laptop I have, still I do find moments where I would like to relax and load up a game that for one, can run on a low spec laptop running Windows 7, and two, won't exhaust the laptop - meaning that I have tried several games that have made the laptop generally very hot.
I know the list is a little limited, but this is what I have found so far.
Green indicates the game runs smoothly without heat issues.
Orange indicates the game runs ok with possibility of heat issues.
Red indicates the game runs extremely poor or is unplayable/unexecuteable.
Purple indicates games that I am in the process of testing.
Grey indicates games that have been tested by others.

As you can see I have tried to limit my tested games to those that I feel would hopefully run on a low spec laptop running Windows 7. I haven't found any decent topics on the internet that discuss Windows 7 Laptop games so hopefully this could help others that are concerned.
If anyone has any input or any reasonable requests let me know as I will be able to test them out hopefully within the next few days of request or questionning.
Hope this helps.
