Now that I’m almost finished with my move to Netbooknews, I can finally get around the working with the HP Pavilion DM1z notebook again – an 11.6-inch notebook powered by AMD’s ultrathin Nile platform with a single core Athlon II Neo processor (1.7 GHz) and ATI Radeon HD 4225 graphics. So how does it fare with games?

Now, games aren’t my forte and I personally have little interest anymore but I am quite fond of Steam so I’ve downloaded a bunch of available game demos and given them a test. No mention of FPS for each game but I kept a note of which resolutions and settings gave the best performance. Only one of the many games I tested failed to give satisfactory performance so I was pretty impressed.

I actually threw in an extra 1GB of DDR3 RAM for a total of 3GB of RAM. Looking at benchmarks the extra GB didn’t improve results, actually they were a little less so that is confusing but I will get to general benchmarks later.

I’d ask if anyone wants any games tested but I know there won’t be any demos available for what you want me to test!

    No, it is very unlikely that it can, NFSHP is quite a power hog compared to the likes of these games in the demo.

    Can your HP Pavilion DM1z with the Athlon II Neo K125 single core and Radeon 4225 run Second Life smoothly using the lowest graphic settings?
