ASUS Eee PC 1215N - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Test

*Framerate: ~5 to 57 fps
*Playability: Unplayable to Smooth
*Remarks:
The game runs very well most of the time, averaging around 24 to 33 fps on high graphics (with majority of effects turned on) and native resolution. Large environments with too much mayhem naturally brings these numbers down to about 7 to 13 fps. Darker scenes produce a bit more frames, I think. The yitch3 config file makes the game run smooth even on low hardware, and smoothness remains even on busy scenes. Although, you sacrifice the graphics a lot. Audio also on high settings.
You may be able to add a few more frames by doing the usual stuff: like lowering the settings, closing unnecessary processes, updating the graphics driver further, defragmenting the HDD, overclocking CPU/GPU, upgrading Windows 7 to 64-bit and make full use of the max 4 GB memory capacity, downgrading to Windows XP for an optimized, less demanding OS, among others.
