Thanks y'all.   I did some messing around with .55 in windows early this a.m. and had less than stellar results due to the slow processor speed.   I haven't looked, but my guess is that I can upgrade the chip pretty cheaply through eBay but since .55 wasn't working so well, I pulled out.36 and was getting 60fps from all the games I tried.

For Example: Asteroids was playing at 5/60 with .55 and at 60/60 with .36  For the time being, I can live with that.  After I get everything configured, I'll look into a faster CPU.

Okay, back to the monitor forum for me to figure out the video portion of this :)

Well, this previous statement isn't quite true.  Part of the significant framerate difference was related to the fact that I didn't have sound working in DOS.  When I got the onboard sound all fixed up, the framerates weren't quite as good.

But, that being said, overall I can live with my current CPU for the time being.

.36 final ;)

Don't get too excited, as I did do some clean up, but it's possible I may have some of those AMD K6's laying around.  PM me if you want me to look for them.  If I find them, pay shipping and they are your's.  Try to PM before this weekend, as I'm going up to Massachusetts for a few days.

Why .36 and not .37?
