Commandos: BCD and Win2K

Max Cohen
Has anyone managed to get Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty working on Win2K? I've tried: *Installing on Win9x and then copying the registry entries across to Win2K. No good. *Using APCOMPAT. EXE. It keeps telling me that I have a debugger running and that I must close it first.

Dual Processor Option

INFERNO2000
I've got a few bucks to spare(about $60), so I've thought about setting up a VERY LOW END SMP PC. What I need to know is the lowest processor I can set up an SMP with. . . namely, can I do it with Pentium I's, which I can get for about $5 a piece, or do I have to go to Pentium II(which will of course cost more).

Can I go back to DX7a (from DX8b2)?

Mad
I am currently running DirectX 8. 0 beta2. . . and recently downloaded the NOLF demo. I've noticed that performance is extremely crappy on DX8 (using TNT2Ultra), as this is only a technology test. Anyway, is it safe if I just reinstall DX7a? I am not sure if I wanna risk everything simply because of a game, please ...

Upgrade Help?

g00ner
Greets all, I am currently running a dual PIII 500 rig with 512mb and a Voodoo 3 through Win2K. Everything is running well, but I quite fancy getting a V5 5500 and seeing the FSAA in all it's glory. But is my setup powerfull enough to run 4x FSAA in 800x600 or am I wasting my money? Any help/info would be appreciative.

Thoughts on Tyan Trinity 400?

sab3864
Does anyone have thoughts on the Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard. It seems like a good idea because it has a slot 1 and ppga370 socket, to make it easy to upgrade in the future. If not, should I go for a slot 1 or ppga board.
