I found these while doing some research..... Method one involves disabling sound acceleration, method 2 is just setting the driver memory footprint to High. Both of these helped make games run faster on a Eee Pc with an atom cpu (method 1 sounds very promising though)
I also tried very hard to get San Andreas run smoothly with my 1000H. After several days I was about to give up, because even with 640x480 and all settings minimum + Super Performance it ran very jerky in crowded areas (newest GMA950-driver + 1206 bios) But yesterday I found a satisfying solution! DISABLE the sound acceleration COMPLETELY! Not the medium or basic setting TURN IT COMPLETELY OFF! (Open up dxdiag.exe or the audio properties under system properties to do so). I was really suprised that this actually did improve performance A LOT (Seems like those EAX+DirectSound3D filters really put a lot of stress on the tiny Atom-Core...). The game runs now smooth on the 1000H. Not 40+fps smooth but PS2- Version smooth (good enough for this game!). The only minor drawback is, that the cutscenes will be slightly out of sync with the audio (not important for me), but there are no other audio issues (everything else during the game sounds like it should). So try to DISABLE the sound acceleration COMPLETELY, afterwards San Andreas will play smooth on your 1000H! 1)Hughes3000 "I got one tweak that seemed to make a huge difference for me on my 1000h, at least in Age of Empires 3. If you go into the properties and 3D settings you'll see an option for "driver memory footprint". Set that **** on high. This thing likes memory. I haven't messed around with the other options in there much but the memory settings made a huge difference. I'm guessing this can make a lot of games more fun on this thing." -- INTEL 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
