: 	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.
A lot depends on the video card of a computer. For example last year when I
finanlly got Doom, played on my dx-50, 8 meg ram, it was very choppy, the
video card was 512k trident. Insert a 1 meg Tseng labs card, the game was
smooth, insert a 2 meg VLB card, the game wasn't smooth anymore, it was
fast.
: 	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:
No, I would be amazed if I could purchase a new Origin game released next
year, and play it on full detail. I'd expect Bio forge will be the last
Origin game I could play. This holds true particularly if they phase VGA out
for Svga, like EGA was phased out for VGA.
: 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?
I know the question wasn't addressed to me, but I couldn't resist adding my
$0.02 worth :)
