Is your netbook powerful enough to run games?

Netbooks may not be equipped with the latest and greatest 3D, but a lot of indie games are essentially 2D, just using the 3D for compositing. There's no reason those wouldn't work.

Unless they need a hardware accelerated OpenGL implementation to run, because they don't have a software renderer?
