Nvidia Ion, 2GB RAM, Atom 330 (the dual core one), Latest Nvidia WHQL drivers (195 something) and 1280x800 resolution windowed mode (as this machine has a 20" screen and netbooks don't, I figured it'd be more useful to test in that resolution.
With everything at low and/or turned off - it gets between 32 to 38 fps inside a POS in space. UI doesn't feel as sluggish as expected and seems quite playable. I tested both PVE and PVP and both was above acceptable.
Test PC is an Asus EEETOP 2002T, but the above specs are common in more and more netbooks.

Likewise... just what I was looking for. Guess I'll get that Asus 1201N after all.

Well im running it on a Samsung N510, Atom 280, Ion chip, 2GB ram and windows xp 1366x768 res. Brackets on flying about outside Dodi in prime-time eu to test, drops to around 19-20fps with about 50 odd ships on the overview.
Testing on a Lvl 4 run in a nighthawk tonight before i risk any pvp on it but so far its amazing performance for something so small!
That and it even manages to keep cool and quiet while running EvE!

Thanks Malande!
As the Samsung N510 has the cut-down ION LE inside, i'm confident that a Lenovo s12 or the ASUS Eee PC 1201N would work like a charm for mobile EvE-turbation! ^^ thank you guys!

Just to point out the ONLY difference between Ion and Ion LE is dx10 support. LE is there for systems that come bundled with win XP as there is no dx10 in XP, if you upgrade to win 7 though and download the Ion driver you basically upgrade your Ion LE to and Ion chip ;)
See for more info
Also to note in the article their right in that since system memory is shared with the gpu upgrading from 1gb > 2gb will increase the default amount of memory assigned to the gpu, ive got mine set to 256mb with 2 gig of ram but you can up that to 512mb.
Also for those that are wondering even though its not advertised as such if you install win7 on a Samsung n510 the actually supported memory upgrade is 4gb NOT 2gb as the intel chipset that limited it was changed with the upgrade to the Ion chip!

I have roomates that run Eve at 1280x1024 on older NVidea 6100/6150 based Semperon machines - that graphics chipset is noticeably lower performance than the Ion/9400M is.
Frame rates aren't fantastic even with settings at low, but they're plenty to play the game.
Don't confuse NVidea or ATI on-board chipsets with Intel Extreme(LY SLOW) Graphics chipsets, they aren't even in the same ballpark.
The current ATI 780/785 chipset is roughly comparable to an ATI 3400 PCI Express card in performance, the ION should be rough ballpark equivilent to a bottom-end NVidea 9xxx series card - go back 3 years or so and those were classed as HIGH PERFORMANCE GRAPHICS.
