Well, I have one of those not for any really good reason, as it turns out &#8230; to run games.  (Mainly Julia&#8217;s games.)The hard drive is small and the processor is small, but I was able to download spore and convince it to install on an external hard drive that had plenty o&#8217; room.Then when I tried to run it, I was informed that the graphics card is not up to snuff.  That does not surprise me given the hardware I&#8217;m using for Windows.So, for me, Spore is out of the question.  When a Linux version is launched, I will be happy to try it.  I don&#8217;t think EA has a Linux version of anything.  Shame.Well, I tried.  But my computer got voted off the island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I too was asked by EA games to install and test Spore.
