Eee PC line to gain gamer-friendly graphics chip

According to Register Hardware, Asus has revealed it's working on an Eee PC with a discrete graphics chip that will make gamers happy. Details are scarce, but it is likely the company will go with at least a 10" model as the GPU will require extra cooling.

While the new model may yet represent further dilution of the Eee PC brand and a graphics-oriented netbook with a relatively small screen questionable to some, Asus may yet be on to something. If it is able to keep pricing down and make the model relatively affordable for a graphics-oriented unit, it may yet represent another marketing breakthrough for the company.
