Yeah, found out about the limit the hard way when I built the machine. Also found out the hard way about 98's inability to see large hard drives the hard way too.
But I fixed it easily enough. It's only a problem for MS-DOS programs.
I ran through the tweak guide, and it really didn't fix much. In small indoor locations I can average about 5fps less than what I've set my max fps to in the ini file (If I stand still and look at a non-moving wall I get full fps. Whee) while outdoor locations still crap out at a minimum of 5fps every five seconds.
*Sigh*
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
