Well that sounds like a result!
BUT.....I am still not sure about that CPU!?
It should say that it is an GenuineIntel MMX(tr) and PIII. I'll think on that one and come back to you.
I wouldn't mess with 8bit, I would go for 16 - so long as your Monitor is set to High Colour 16. Still the frame rates are there now. And since your eye cannot do better than 25fps it 's great. When are you getting FS2K?
You can download Eric Ernst's 767 on my site if you plan to get it.
Let me know if I can help further, cheers.
