There is like one netbook out there where it MIGHT work and its the ASUS N10J with the geforce 9300.
Notebookreview on the ASUS N10J said:
Using Steam we pulled in Half-Life 2 and tweaked the visual settings to be easier on the system. With the resolution set to 1024×600 and most settings on medium the system average 20-25fps, which was playable, but still under what you would want for smooth gaming. Heavy action scenes dropped the framerate into the mid-teens, and if you weren’t lucky, got yourself killed in no time.
Eventually when netbooks start coming out with the nvidia ION chipset, you might be able to play CSS at low quality settings.
Any computer (netbook or otherwise) running intel gma 950 absolutely cannot run CSS. End of discussion. If its any consolation, 1.6 will at least run on pretty much everything made within the past decade.
