Heck, I still can't run full detail in N4 even on this P4 1.7 Ghz.  I
guess it technically runs but I don't get 25 fps.  I wonder if anybody
has ever been able to run a Papy Sim on full detail.  The target
audience for their high end must be the computer onboard the
mothership.

Don't know if it counts (due to the 3 years of advancing PC
technology) but GPL finally runs full everything, full detail, the
works on a 1.4ghz tbird, GF3 :D

And they said we'd never make it!

Of course, N4 is a different story :)

Update the sounds, at least!  I'm running GPLEASOUNDS
v1.2, and I just can't get enough of the Eagle :-)

Oh man, that brings back memories...boot disks to run with as few drivers as
possible, often ditching the CD driver to open up as much of that 40MB of
RAM... the -h command line option...small fields to keep from cooking that
P90...cleaning or replacing the pots on that Thrustmaster T1 every so
often...'white adapter' or not...hehe...and now, my Celery 928MHz is on the
'slow' side, with almost as much RAM (320MB) as that box had hard drive
(560MB).

Actually, I had quite a lot of fun with the WWII games I was playing at the
time(Lucasfilm).  Their Finest Hours, SWOTL, etc...<g>
