Bilow: As i said.. it wont run Broodwars or Diablo II. I decided to try out a couple of other games - Warcraft II: Battlenet Edition and a game called 1602 AD which is basically a Civilization clone and made by GT Interactive (I picked this to load since its a non-BLizzard game).. both of these games got thru their opening animation alright.. and both got to the main menu.. when I tried to pick a new game however.. both froze. Everything else works so far.. Wordperfect.. Netscape ... I even tried loading on a couple of nature CD;s I have which aids in birdwatching.. it played those and videos effortlessly wthout any freezes.. so for some reason.. my new computer hates me playing games If this is whats going on with the Duron or the Via boards.. its no wonder AMD hasnt been pushing them more <grin> Kidding of course.. I'm just frustrated atm.
