Hi, I would like to ask this for curiosity.

I am interested on playing the game "Operation Flashpoint' (which was like "Call of duty" back in 2001) on a old DOS Windows 3.1 upgraded to Windows 95 computer I had back in 1994 to 1995 with improved hardware and processor from 1999 and 2000 to 2001. Like a voodoo 3 and a AMD K6-2+ on a socket 7.

You know like, what would happen if you put a AMD K6-2+ which is a super socket 7 (Which was the term for it) over a socket 7? And how fast would it be with the voodoo 3?

It may be a bit of a stretch running that game on those specs. The system requirements on game debate call for a PIII or Athlon MP processor. It also says it requires a direct x 8 compatible GPU, so I'm not sure that the Voodoo 3 will be compatible. From what I have found, this game would definitely be better run on XP-era hardware.

It'll work. How well depends on if you're willing to put up with 15-25fps all the time, and the game requires a lot of patience anyway 😀

Wrong forum. As per the pinned topic in this forum: "This forum is for running old Windows games on NEW (supported) versions of Windows" Ask old hardware and driver/configuration questions in Marvin. Marvin, the Paranoid Android

Your specs would be super slow for OPF, but will "work". For a better experience though:

If you insist on a 3dfx card with Glide then Voodoo 5500 with something like AMD Athlon XP CPU and for example Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card for EAX would be better.

If not, then Windows XP with EAX sound card and a more modern CPU/GPU will give you the overall best experience and a lot cheaper these days. Plus, on WinXP you can install advanced game enhancing applications such as Nvidia Inspector, DisplayCAL or newer builds of the Rivatuner Statistics Server with Scanline Sync (which will probably not work in OFP) and what not.

Most games from Bohemia Interactive are a bitch on the CPU, still cant max out Arma 2 (2009) with the best hardware of today (would yield maybe 20FPS). For their games aim for CPUs with faster clocks rather than more cores, but if you want "best" aim for both of course.
