On a core i3 330um?
Notice that bold letter "u". It means its an ultra low voltage chip for an ultra-portable laptop I plan on getting.
I'm worried about the clockspeed which is only 1.2 Ghz and there is no turbo boost.
I understand that some people have had success running games such as descent and duke3d on netbooks at reasonable frame rates.
According to this website:

This chip is more powerful than the latest atoms, despite the slower clock.
Could I expect reasonable performance playing lets say duke3D or TIE fighter? If so what about more intensive games such as strike force centauri or realms of the haunting at 640*480? If not what about less demanding games such as Ultima VII or X-com?
