Ok, just tell me what exactly do you need to know and I'll provide it.

Well, I've tried almost everything with MoSlo and the effect isn't very
noticable.
With 10% it's almost playable but MoSlo makes the game play almost
impossible
as it's very jerky and the slowdown is actually only like for 1 of every 4th
frame
(meaning that it slows down for maybe one sec and then again is normal for 3
secs and
keeps repeating that).

Which is which? I have to admit I don't know that much about it to tell.
Bios calls them
Cpu Cache 1 and 2.

Because if I run Windows on the bg it would consume far too much memory. The
only way
I've gotten the game to run is by making a boot disk.
