1) If you are running two processors you will encounter some problems running the game (it will randomly crap out during play). There is a fix that I found on this sites Message Board, I thought I would save time for the next person with the same problem... Here is the fix... start the game....go into the high scores menu in the game.... next hit ALT+TAB....Next hit ctrl alt del.... go into Task Manager.....Go into processes.... you should see Hereos3.exe or something from that.... right click it and select set affinity....unselect cpu
2) I saw your post about how Heroes of Might and Magic III has a problem with multiple CPU systems (WinNT 4.0 and Win2000). I wrote a small program that sets the processor affinity for Heroes III to avoid having to set the affinity manually every time you start to play the game. You can find it on my web site at http://www.execpc.com/~heitda/Games/index.htm  It is definately easier to use this small program than to follow the steps 3DO recommends.
3) Game initially would crash when clicking on "Scenario Name" on the save game screen but after a reboot that problem disappeared. Other than that seems to be working GREAT!
