I would like to buy this barebone system, AOpen MiniPC Duo MP945-VXR. It has to be powerful enough to give me a stable fps in quakeworld if I'm gonna buy it  Would it be able to handle quakeworld with 24-bit textures in 1280x1024? Any hardware guru out there that would like to share his thoughts on this one? The graphics chip is Intel GMA 950 and it supports Intel Core Duo 2 processors.

Why shouldn't it?
It depends what you insert of course. And what other settings you are gonna use.

Well, the graphics doesn't seem like the best.
I use default graphics settings in ezQuake, independent physics, maxfps 144 @ 144hz, vsync off.
I am also about to buy a tft-monitor (vx922, any other ideas?) so I might lower the maxfps if high fps is useless with tft. (Is it?)
I'll post my config later.

Oh I see now. You definitely should not use the built-in graphics adapter! You won't get nice framerates with that for sure.
Just get a Geforce 6600 or similar and you should be fine.

yup, integrated graphics is evil. half of the graphical features aren't available and the rest is awfully slow. i don't see you getting stable 77 fps with integrated graphics, no matter the cpu/ram.
/offtopic: login doesn't work with safari? can anyone confirm?

Ok, then this is not an alternative since it has no slots what so ever (miniPCI doesn't count). :cry:

That's an older AOpen barebone (ey855). I can fully recommend it.

I use default graphics settings in ezQuake, independent physics, maxfps 144 @ 144hz, vsync off.
I am also about to buy a tft-monitor (vx922, any other ideas?) so I might lower the maxfps if high fps is useless with tft. (Is it?) TFTs are pretty limited in refresh rates, most will not do higher than 75hz. I'd be a bit worried about running 1280x1024 on a GMA950. Looking at some benchmarks, it only averages 30fps in Enemy Territory (oldest game I could find) at 800x600. OK so QW is going to run quicker but even so I doubt it could manage constant 75fps.
