The games can run, sure. I wouldn't expect much performance out of an i855 on a game like RTCW. I suspect there are still performance enhancements to be done for the i855 (need to research this), but I don't think they would happen for a while. --=20 Eric Anholt anholt@FreeBSD.org eric@anholt.net eric.anholt@intel.com --=-65AAgMbmbyV99dKex5PH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBENuiJHUdvYGzw6vcRAqseAJ0ZVvljwH26jUH39Z4yvmfWv0+NTQCdGREt 9mwwmU+UP5WDaGrTtbMIGpk= =2uIm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-65AAgMbmbyV99dKex5PH--
