Can the Tablet PC OS play regular pc games?
Like Age of Empires (AGE OF KINGS)


So far on the TABLET PC microsoft website there is no INFORMATIOn use full to gain from using a tablet pc OS
other than the ability to write on the screen. the information out there sucks...

Gaming, depending on your specific Tablet PC, may be limited. But that is
because of the graphics requirements of the games exceeding those available
on the Tablet - especially the earlier ones. Also, some games are not
pen-aware and go a little crazy when you attempt to use the pen instead of a
mouse.

I can run (without pen) Dungeon Siege on my Tablet, but need to lower the
graphics a bit, and it is fine. By comparison, Age of Kings requires only 2
MB of graphics power while DS takes 8.

Check out the comparison chart of various Tablets on Terri Stratton's web
site: http://thetabletpc.net if you're looking into purchasing. The newer
models have increased the display capabilities quite a bit.
