A 700 MHz Pentium III is a lot slower than a 700 MHz Athlon, for example, and a 700 MHz Duron or 700 MHz Celeron is slower still. I ran Generals at a pretty steady 15-20 fps (lower than the desired 30 fps) with an Athlon 700 (original Slot-A) and a GeForce 1. -- Tim "HeXetic" G. www.planetcnc.com

Well I'm glad you can't PIRATE this programme. People like you are beneath contempt. I hope that your computer gets infected by the Blaster virus. >Cheers for the advice John but I found out from my cousin that my >computer isn't good enough to play it because you need a 700 MH'z >proccessor and I only hav a little 500 :(:( > >oh and I know it's illegal and stuff but most stuff I download is :D
