FFXI + Intel Atom = ? Opinions?

Hello all, I'm an I.T. guy looking for some friendly advice regarding the Intel Atom-based desktops. Is anyone running FFXI on an Intel Atom machine? Is it possible to run it half-decent? I currently play on a dual-core machine which runs fantastic, but I found a nice little Atom rig that will integrate nicely in my home theatre system. Link below:

Newegg.com - MSI Wind Nettop CS120 Intel Atom 230 (1.6GHz) 1GB DDR2 160GB Intel GMA 950 Windows XP Home - Desktop PCs

Do you think I can run FFXI on this machine? I wouldn't be playing primarily on this machine, only a little bit...

1.) Do you run on Intel Atom? If so, how is gameplay?

Thanks

Chris

I play mostly in my theater, but I used to run my second character on a 1GHz P3 laptop with the original GeforceGo. Now my issue is why are you putting something which cannot play Bluray in your theater?

I recommend waiting for an AMD Athlon Neo nettop. They have much better graphics capability.

This being a gaming forum, if anyone is getting a Blu-Ray player, they're almost certainly going for PS3.

True, I'm the odd one who hasn't owned a console since the original Nintendo.

Actually the Acer Aspire Revo with the Intel Atom and nVidia Ion would make a nice theater PC, which could play FFXI at 1280x720 and HD video. Wish we, AMD, already had our competing products in the market.
