I know its an old thread, maybe making my own would make more sense, but it seems to fit here. I've been setting up an old 486 and wanted to get these games working. PC has a SB16 value, and a first revision MT32. Its a AMD X5 133 chip, with 32megs of ram. As downloaded, both monkey 1 and 2 both …

Awakening again... I was making some plans in mind. Want to build exactly such a dual tualatin setup with an ASUS P2B DS and 2 1,4ghz tualatin CPUs. But looks like it is somehow difficult to get it work?!... Are there any experiences of successful builds?

OK... Do i have to download a specific version of Riva Tuner? Is it something obvious to find or some kind of hidden feature...? Btw: I tried to activate 4x with a registry entry. But it had no effect.
