Even on this underpowered laptop. I forgot, I already bought this title on GOG (I've got HOMM1-3 there), so maybe I'll download the Windows version and let you know if your suspicions are correct. I can't see how they can do the Redbook audio with the Windows version, though, because it doesn't have DOSBox's virtual CD-ROM mount. But I'll give it a shot. ...and seriously, the CD audio sounds better than the MP3s. Maybe I'm just imagining that, but it seems to be the case. -- Zag Sent from my slow-ass Toshiba Laptop
