It'll suck, that's for sure. It's an Ion, and that's a plus over regular Atom with Intel graphics (Atom + Intel graphics are so bad that they can't even run Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, a simple scroller from 2002!). It might run, but it in no way will be a smooth experience, even with low graphics (Atom is a dog, and Ion's graphics are low end).

I got CoH running on an older 900 series EeePC but it was a slideshow (~5fps) just running around a zone. So I know it'll run, and it'll suck, but how much? Would 20fps be pushing it or should I still expect less than 10fps?

Just to follow up, I wound up picking up an Asus 1215N EeePC.
Out of the box it runs City of Heroes at a stable 25fps at minimum graphics settings, with dips down to 15fps in more intense areas (flying over Cap au Diable and into Grandville).
I'm in the process of trying out a few other games to see how well it fares. So far I'm quite satisfied with its performance for a $500 netbook.
...one of these?
I have a really nice Asus G51 I lug around when I travel, but I've found it a little too large to handle on short trips or even on a flight, so I was thinking of downgrading to a netbook that I can more easily carry around. I don't expect to be able to handle ultra-mode but with all gfx toned down and RAM upgraded to 2Gb should this still play decently?
