no kidding! I have an AMDk62/550, onboard video(8mb) and sound(blaster16) and 290mb of ram and I still have boddeg down slowness! in fact, yesterday the intro dragon was lagging a bit. I recently played with some video cards from the store; voodoo3 and voodoo4. voodoo4 is slightly better simply because of the anti-aliasing.. but no real performance kicks. The worst part is, these cards did nothing to increase smoothness of the game. The open/gl mode even ran SLOWER. I think it's just discracefull how they slapped this game togheter from the already bloated and buggy BG engine (did you know, Kylee's dagger is in the icewind files?). If there's a trick to getting the game to run cherry, i'd love to hear it. personally, i think the programming skill is not up to speed with our alien chip technology.
