hello friends I'm with a new draft to enjoy computer games plus two old glories and I would like not to have problems with the games run time error which is the maximum processor should be placed to avoid that problem

My setup is this

Super 7 motherboard ASUS P5A
Pentium 200 MMX
agp voodoo bansee 16 mg
64 mb ram 100hz
Seagate 40 gb
Sound Blaster AWE 64 gold

which will be the biggest game that I can move with this pc acceptably ???

I have to do to make me no runtime error 200 ???

Please look good if not give me any suggestions settings thanks to all
if you think you'll have a problem is MS DOS appreciate your advice

If I remember correctly the 'runtime error 200' will occur at around 250 to 266MHz. Your Pentium MMX at 200MHz won't have problems. If you do encounter problems you can use programs to patch the timing problem in the Turbo Pascal CRT unit (Google for 'fix run time error 200').

The biggest game to play on your computer? Depends on your defintion 'biggest'. I would say that Baldurs Gate would be a good candidate considering it's 6 CD's including expansion 😀.

I remember having issues with Runtime Error 200 with an MMX 200. I believe AMD CPUs need a slightly higher clock to trigger it, and so do the Pentium Classic. This should be easy enough to patch, though.
