My friends tell me WoW plays reasonably well on the Acer One. If you keep the resolution down to say, 800x600ish I don't see why TGE wouldn't run ok.

I noticed that having high viewing distance the machine doesn't do very well. It ran between 2-8 fps with high viewing distance and no doodads like trees, grass, etc. But when I lowered the viewing distance a lot I could have some trees and grass but not to many. I was also testing with the forest pack and I could have the forest pack with nothing else and very low viewing distance, I got 12-20 fps.
So over all to get your project to run on the Asus Eee PC you'll have to tweak with the viewing distance and how many items you have on the screen at once.
Now I did own a Asus Eee PC but I sold it to get the MSI Wind (which is much better, with a bigger screen, hdd, and bigger keyboard.). Here's a link to a forum that I use and it has a section where people has made lists of games that could be ran. But keep in mind that its for the MSI Wind and not the Asus Eee PC. The reason I listed the link was so you can get a rough idea on what the Asus Eee PC can/can't run.

I have done some testing with the MSI Wind which almost the same thing besides the bigger screen and a little better built-in video card.
