Is there a noticable difference running GP2 under DOS on a Pentium 200
vs a 133 (no MMX). Can't decide whether to upgrade??

Sure.....
You will gain the raw speed difference between 133 and 200, ie. a 50%
increase. In GP2, this will improve your framerate from ex. 10 to 15 fps.
Unforteunately you will not gain any improvement in bus speed, they both
run at 66 MHz. Besides that, the P200 should be slightly improved in ex.
cache performance, but you will probably not notice that in a 16 bit DOS
environment.
So P200 is pretty much the fastest way you can run GP2, if you don't want
to fiddle around with xtals and soldering irons ;-)
At least until MicroProse realese the 3D update patch (Laughing is now
heard !!!)
