yhea. but i just got daggerfall working fine on my other newer pc anyways. i'm probibly just going to use this machine for those games that either do not run or run bad natively on my win machines. elder scrolls: arena and stonekeep are two games for example i never was able to get running on any of my windows machines without the aid of dosbox and even then it was some work to get them running somewhat close to normalOriginally Posted by Arkhan
i'll probibly throw together a 486 setup just for the hell of it for the really old dos stuff. but it will probibly just be one of those deals if i see one really cheap at a flea market or something
on the issue of this 200mhtz cpu running at 250. it gets very hot for the few times i test ran it. were talking under a minute and its ouch to the touch hot. think it will be ok after a heatsink/fan or should i just hold off on it.
its funny you mentioned Ultima VIII earlier. my first pc was a AST pentium 133 and ultima VIII was one of the first games i bought for it. i couldn't get it to run under win 95. i knew absolutely nothing about pc's at the time but somehow i went into the dos editor and changed something and it worked fine ever since then. i still have no idea how i got that game to work.
