I used to be on a P16 with Win98, and things ran fine, but to answer your question, to get the OHR running faster, you'll need a highter Pentium chip. _________________ Moogle no longer owes prizes. |

The only things that will be faster will be loads. Otherwise, it's the same speed, whether you have a 486 or a 1.4GHz AMD Duron. _________________

I've never had a problem with the OHR in any of the many operating systems I've used.
But Win98 is largely considered the worst version out there. My condolences. _________________

I'm on a similarly slow machine, except I'm running Windows 95. In fact, its probably not even 166. But I know what you mean, the scrolling is kind of lagging and really big scripts run very slowly on my comp. I want to try it on my girlfriend's laptop because its brand new and see what the actual difference is. |

Ooh, sounds pretty romantic to me. "Hey, baby, let's do a little game design... if you know what I mean."

WHAT??? Win98 has and always will be the best OS microsoft has ever made! Its soooo consistent and it runs just about everything (bug and crash free!)
I think that its just your pentium speed. It runs fine on my P1 200Mhz PC. It does lag a bit when big scripts and such happen though. On a PC higher than 300Mhz the OHR should run just right. But when applying VDMS, it shall lag a lot. With VDMS I would recommend a P2 800Mhz at least. VDMS runs through windows, not dos, so it uses more memory than the OHR itself. _________________

Acutally Win98 is the most buggy of all the Windows OSes. I personally think 2000 is the most secure. _________________ Moogle no longer owes prizes. |

That's the processor speed. Pentium chip, 166Mhz. |

Not even 98 comes close to XP.
Crash-to-not-crash ratio is like..

I can't tell if Kahn was being sarcastic and I think Fyre mislabeled his graph (hard to tell, since it's pretty cryptic anyway). 98 and Me are the two least stable Windowses out there. _________________

Windows ME makes me sad... When I had 2000 or 98 I didn't need VDMS, but ever since I got ME I required it. _________________ ---------------Projects----
