Origin's target audience is not just people >with Pentiums. A 486 DX 33? I would really be surprised if that was the case. As for the complaints bit... though someone said that it was a "major pre-release game engine", that same someone said that it's speed was not satisfactory. But tell me honestly: looking at Origin's trend, do you REALLY believe they will keep supporting the 486 market? I am not talking NOW (though you could take this "now" as some sort of beginning) but perhaps a year from now: do you think Origin's games will support the 486, when a year ago its games still ran "satisfactorily" on a 386? Keeping an open mind. By the way, are you in any way affiliated with Origin? - Falcon
