Just installed Morrowind on my brand new Samsung NC10, and it runs it just great without any tweaking on my part, other than adjusting the resolution. So I expect most lowest common denominator MMOs will run just fine.

Like what someone mentioned earlier, it might make more sense just to go for a box that I could swap in a better video card for since I won't be doing much on it but playing an occasional game or working on prorgrams that'd work better on Windows (ie Maya, After Effects). I must ruminate on this further.

The screen size of netbooks actually make it hard to run regular windows programs (Premiere won't run on mine), so unless you plan on hooking it up to a monitor, which would sort of screw the point, you're better off with a full sized laptop.
