The game is intended for a P3 and a GF3.
Mabye try:
Disable all startup programs
Older or newer chipset drivers
Older video drivers vs newer video drivers
Windows 9x vs 2000 vs XP
Lower settings in the game and the command line:

When I played this completely forgettable game in 2001 it was with:

The PC version hit the scene in late 2003, so you did not play it in 2001 (no comment on "completely forgettable" 🤣) on PC. That version is also very demanding, bringing Pentium 4, Athlon XP and Athlon 64 and GF FX and Radeon 9700/9800 to their knees.
Needless to say, that poor K6 is getting toasted here. I'm curious to see how the game performs for the OP to be considering it playable, I hope for their own sake this is not their first playthrough 😜
The sentenel beams are really dragging it down.
Yeah, seriously, it’s playable 🤣. Not lag free by any means but like I said, I’m half way through the campaign.
No 🤣, I’ve beat this game many times! Not forgettable by any means!!!
So I don’t think that I’ll be able to eleminate all lag, but I think it’s going well enough with these unoptimized drivers that maybe a few tweaks may make a significant improvment.
I can try the 256mb thing.
I’ve heard about that before people have reported more performance with less ram. Even on k63/2+/3+ I think the above statement is true about the k63/2+/3+ improving greatly, but not totally solving the caching issue. Or maybe it’s not a caching issue so much as more ram requiring more time to keep refreshed? Idk, anyway, there seems to be something to that statment.
I’ll have to dig through my gpus and see what I have.
My only gf4 is pci, I can try it?
