Just downloaded VMWare Player, and noticed it's a lot faster. Does anyone know what video/sound driver I should use?
EDIT: I hereby claim page 3 as mine 😀

VMware doesn't emulate a "real" video chip and there is no Win 3.1 driver for it. So it makes VMware a less suitable platform for Windows 3.1.

Crap 🙁
VMWare Player was fast as hell, so it's a shame there's no compatible display driver.
