I had a 3 month simulation running on Win95C. It got very worrying
towards the end as the GDI resources inexorably got choked...

Same here.  Had to reboot every few days.  Still have 'bout 3 months to go,
but I don't know if I'll beat S@H Classic demise or not.  Can't decide
wether to leave it running or not, either, as I use the machine for old DOS
games.  One correction:  Mobo is PB420A instead of 420, manufactured
(according to back decal) in 1991.

So /that's/ why you're running at just *8* MHz rather than 25MHz... You're just chasing the old DOS high scores!

You can get emulators that run faster on todays PCs (:-))


Have you got SetiSpy to give the expected CPU time?

Good luck for the remaining 3 months or so,
(:-))
