I recently got an Acer Aspire One 150 model that seems to be pretty capapble of playing SoaSE. At least at first glance it seems to be alright!
I set my Intel GMA settings to scroll the screen when in 1024x768 mode, then set my dekstop res to 1024x768. If you look in the user.setting file you'll find a section that says "VideoIsWindowed", I set that to true.
The above settings let me run it in 1024x768, but I have to scroll to see the entire thing and I have the stupid window name up at the top and the taskbar hiding at the bottom.
Not ideal at all, but it should work until Stardock gets a patch out... And they need to get this fixed! Some netbooks work just fine with this game!
