Default Will sh3 work on netbook ?

I want to buy a notebook. Maybe Samsung NC-10. The main function of this computer isn't computer games. I need cheap and small out-door(?) computer.
Grqaphic card of this notebook is very low, so it is not the best machine for games.
My question is. Will SH3 be playable on this netbook ? i think about multiplayer games. I dont't need 25fps on 1024 speed.

sorry for my english, im still learning.

I wouldn't have thought so unless it has an excellent graphics card (for a net book).

Net books don't usually have an optical drive either (well mine doesn't) so you would need a large capacity memory stick as well.

Its doubtful, i have a little hp netbook lying around here somewhere, it has pretty average netbook specs (1.6GHz dual core atom cpu, 1Gb ddr2 ram, intel gfx card, win7 etc...) it seems at times to barely have the power to run internet explorer+ i think it lacks the bare minimum 1024x768 screen resolution to run sh3.

You might be better off going for a cheap laptop, something like the compaq cq56 series will run sh3 at a solid 60fps for around £200 (uk), 2.3GHz amd v series cpu, 4Gb ddr3 ram, radeon hd4250 gfx.

It won't run on my wife's Asus ee, with an adon optical drive. Better to get a desktop pc.

I run a backup install on a Compaq laptop. Mine's got a 2Ghz dual core with 3Gb ram and onboard Nvidia graphics. Runs a charm around 45 to 60 fps.

It will run on an Eee 1005HA. Just don't expect wonders when it comes to high-performance graphics. However, from what I understand there are netbooks that have much better gfx chips built into them than this one has, so if you want to go that route make sure you choose the specs that will make you happy.

Whatever you do, stay away from anything that says 'Mobile Intel'.

Ehh. compaq cq56 is not a netbook. This is laptop. I'm looking for small pocket computer with screen 8-11 inch.

I have desktop PC. SH3 (and sh4 too) works fine on it.

So.. if this netbook is to slow, please recommend me netbook (it must be tiny, up to 12 inch screen) on which sh3 will work.
if there is no netbook on which I can play sh3... i will play only on my desktop comp


edit://
what do you think about Acer Aspire One 522 ?
I think that graphic card in this model is better.
