I've been running Duke Nukem 3D on a Pentium 3 550MHz (Katmai, 550/512/100 SL3F7) nicely for quite some time; since I'm still getting slowdowns here and there (in Windows), I decided to get a CPU upgrade.
I bought a Pentium 3 850MHz (Coppermine, 850/256/100 SL43F) and installed it on my rig, but now Duke3D will halt after a random short period of time. When halted, my sound card stuttered while there is no prompt cursor blinking, but I could still reinitialize my sound card, reset the video and start duke3d again - and of course, it will halt again after a short period of game play.
Everything returns to normal if I just install the SL3F7 Pentium 3 550 MHz back.
Is there anything Duke3D doesn't like about coppermine CPU, or is it some settings I've missed?
Thank you very much!
