I'm interested. I've heard of PayPal in the past but really haven't used it. Anyone have any issues with it...just so I don't empty my bank account.... 😉

Yep, some older installshield installers error out when they detect "alot" of HD space. This can be bypassed in NT with ACT and/or APCOMPAT but I never encountered the error under 9x....of course I haven't used 9x at home since....1998. ;) IIRC, NTFS can go all the way down to 512b per sector...... …

Weeeird... Create a batch file with mem /c in it. Then run the batch file with VDMS. Then check how much memory you have free.

DPMI in Vdmsound
Posted on 2002-09-21, 01:20
Consider disabling it by default? Most DPMI game's run terrible or not at all in NT4/2K/XP and having DPMI enabled by default results in less games working due to the memory requirement....

Hmmm, DPMI is enabled by default in VDMSOUND. MSCDEX is disabled. Dunno if this game requires DPMI (doubt it) but you might wanna try disabling it.

Don't have this prog but does the game's sound driver eat up memory? Have you tried different sound settings? (Disable midi/enable sfx or enable sfx/disable MIDI)

95/98 with 98lite with 8mb of ram will run "fine" on a DX2/66. Less processor power than that and I would definetly go the Win 3.1/DOS route for sure.

P2 or P3 is too new. P100 and below are best for OLD games but even those are too fast. Best option is an old 386/486.

There is no way to get Duke 3D with SFX in 2000. Yes there is the hack CLI2NOP but it doesn't work well with Duke 3D. Your only option is Connectix Virtual PC or "upgrade" to XP...but even wtih XP you'll get lousy sound effects and no VESA. So really your only options are Connectix Virtual PC or …

No Privateer in NT. Must use Connectix Virtual PC or the real DOS.

Okay you mentioned OCing...but I don't see that much of an OC and the memory you listed didn't specify brand or CAS type. How the fuck is PC-2100 RAM slow? You need a 333MHz bus for anything higher than 2600. Not if your OCing....unless you underclocked your memory settings.... Okay...but 3 of my …

My thoughts: memory slow (But good 'nuff) CDR slow (Got my Liteon 48x for $90+) IBM HD 60GXP (Scarryy...watch those drives closely...especially in RAID 0...Hope you have a BACKUP!) Everything else looks good! 😀

You went from a P3 cored to a Athlon. BIG difference there as far as older games are concerned. A windows game I have wouldn't run on my Athlon but worked on my Dual P3. Tried it on another Intel rig and it worked. On another Athlon it was a no go. In the future processor emulation will be a MUST …

If you have a GF4 Ti4600 then there really isn't a reason to get a 9700 unless you *need* more FPS. That being said upgrading to the 9700 from my ti4600 was a significant jump in IQ and functionality for me but probly a slight drop in driver quality. ;) My Ti4600 is sitting right next to my computer …
