I will elaborate my build (486 class) later, i'm at work right now and can't really describe everything, but i'm facing this issue:

Which of the detonator driver versions are suitable for a TNT Velocity 4400 16MB under Win95 OSR2.5? Experiencing issues like hangups when entering games (not the intro, but the menu or after the new game selection) - it's a soft freeze, so it must be definitely a SW issue.

Got Dx7a on it, but i'm gonna lower to pure 7, coz the dxdiag crashes all the time.

i recommend 8.05, later drivers requires more cpu power.

Hi you two!

Davros - your recommendation has been useful, although I seem to experience ''laggish'' FMVs & occasionaly even some games do the same, I suppose this one eats a lot of CPU power.

noshutdown - your recommendation gives me a blank black screen, but windows is working 😀 (hearing the sounds)

So far I've tried everything above 5.5x to no success, so I guess I gotta go down more.
