Labview on an eeePC?

Last year our team's primary (only) computer was a loaned Dell tower from a team member. Fun days when the graphics card was knocked loose and the thing wouldn't boot on the first day of regionals. Had to run with borrowed laptops from team members and Green Machine. Fun stuff.

This year, our team's looking at getting an eeePC (or some other type of netbook). For programming mainly, CADing will probably be done on school PCs or another loaner or something.

The purchase of the netbook is contingent on this: Can it run on something like that?

NI claims Labview needs a Pentium 4, and I'm not sure how the Atom stacks up against it. Can anyone confirm if Labview can run on the eeePC and if so, how well?

Lugging a eeePC to regionals would be much easier than lugging a tower + CRT monitor.
