@liquid-x,

Athlon 2400/Win 2000 with SP4/512 mb ram/SFFT d3d driver.

Most maps were quite playable, but a few were slow in some situations (15-20 fps).

Not sure if trying to play the game with a 666 mhz or a 1ghz cpu is going create much more than a slide show though, all T&L data required by the game is going to have to be done by the cpu as the voodoo does not have this feature.

Reply #19 - 18.02.05 at 17:41:47 @liquid-x, I also have a pentium 3 1ghz, it will only overclock to 1066 mhz (stock cooling) before becoming unstable. With a little luck and good cooling you should be able to get to 1000 mhz, maybe more, be cautious though as these are quite high speeds for a coppermine

Bought the 933Mhz for only 15,- euro.. I looks not-used.. Grin

.. Now running with it and I can feel the difference.. 8)

I became crazy of all the drivers I had 2 use for my V5.. So I uninstalled the V5 en reinstalled my Ati radeon 7200 64MB... But Obi-Wan Kenobi conviced me that if I use Win 98se, it will work great.. So I borrowd an windows 98se cd from a mate and will install win 98se or tonight or tomorrow..
