Ok, so finally got a 166MMX CPU + Abit PR5 R2 PCI
Although this motherboard is supossed not to be compatiboe with MMX CPU's, I tried putting one in and it worked!
The Bios identifies the chip as a Pentium-S but Speedsys does identify the chip as an MMX....so I guess that it is actually working as an MMX.
I tried overclocking the CPU up to 200mhz, and it seems to run fine....maybe adding a bigger fan in a near future?
64Mb RAM, and an S3 Trio64+ running with S3VESA + Speedup VESA, and Blood runs perfectly fine at 640x480!!
Speedsys shows a 12.4 result with L1 + L2 disabled, I think that'll be good enough to mantain compatibility with older games.
Not worried about Wing commander or Jazz Rabbit or Ultima VII as they are not my cup of tea...Sorry guys!!!
To be honest I have never tried Wing Commander...but having Tie Fighter I don't think I'll try it for now....please don't kill me!!!
I know that many on here love this game!!!
More interested on Sierra, Lucasarts and other adventure games...Command Conquer, Red Alert, Syndicate, Tie Fighter, Sensible Soccer, Blood, Duke Nukem 3d, Doom...those are my games!
