I read some sites and saw some youtube videos, they say the nano has a 1.8ghz processor and can run crysis, do you know how well? It's small form factor mini itx, should be good and from the costs of the motherboards they are affordable. Are they as good as the atom's? I hear they use more power. But I don't think even the dual core atoms with nvidia's ion can even run crysis well?
Anyone here seen or got a PC with a VIA nano processor?

The Asus N10 is really the only machine of that type that has any hope of running any games well.

The nano is only marginally faster than the Atom, in anything that can use multiple cores the 300 series Atoms out performs the Nano. The ION chipset should be able to run most games as long as you couple it with a decent amount of RAM (as with all MB GPUs it eats system RAM). Though they'd get spanked by a standard desktop costs the same amount of money.
The nano is less power efficient IIRC.
The key here is not to buy either a nano or atom based machine expecting it to play cyrsis!

Running crysis at 4fps is still running crysis. It wouldn't be playable on either.
