Actually...I'm running an AMD K5 133 and had all the choppy sound breaking
up and can't play this game stuff going on until someone offered some
helpful advice. (That would be as opposed to all the "Your stupid why don't
you buy a Pentuim" stuff).

The advice was as follows...

Run the game in a dos window with the switch -heapsize 20000

The entire line looks like this...

h2 -heapsize 20000

Using this method the game is quite smooth.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled flaming...
