Here's what I USED to get:
With a TNT2 32 MB card with the memory and GPU overclocked to 150 MHZ, a 400 MHZ celeron, and 256MB of ram- P-47 inside the cockpit 14-18 FPS, external 23 FPS; B-17 mission with 9 B-17's viewable using an external view 5-7 FPS

Here's what I get know WITHOUT overclocking the video card and only 192 MB of ram (pulled one stick for the other computer)
P-47 internal 33-38 FPS; external, up to 66 FPS!
B-17's same view as above, 18-20 FPS

All this for only $77 including the slot 1 adapter card, CPU, fan, and shipping.

IF you have a 100MHZ board, here's a pretty good option!

'scuze me- gotta go overclock the video card now

But I bet when I reinstall SDOE on the duron 750 my frame rates will go up.

They were already really high but not stable.

Jug, I'm glad you brought this up. I just got a new machine myself, an honest-to-god (used) IBM NetVista. I know this particular model shipped with CPU's up to 800MHz, but sadly this one only has a 600 in it.

Now is there any way I can figure out what this thing can support? Like some question I can ask the BIOS or something? There's nothing at all on the IBM site, even FINDING the machine is hard enough!
