I was just wondering, would it be possible for you guys to make a list of recommended speeds for games?
Personally, I'm interested in speeds for Sierra games and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could compile a list of speeds for the Quests, etc.

Eg
King's Quest 6- .006

Etc.

I think it would depend on the speed of your processor.

I don't think so... AFAIK, timer issues are processor independant, they are due to a ~buggy timer implementation in Windows.

Some games it's one thing, some games it's the other, I think.

Now that we've exhausted all three possibilities (yes, no, maybe), let's get Vlad in here to tell us what's correct.

Yes, it’s my fault.

i played this dos game on my comp and it sooo slow with the music slow on this windows 2000

but i played on my other computer an XP 2100+ with windows XP and the speed is good

but then the xp2100 has an asus a7n8x deluxe board with the nforce2 chipset so its a nvidia soundstorm...

and it has music but no sound effects...so weird...

so i guess on my windows 2000 with sblive card i can hear sound effects?
