I noticed that when going into windows to play some games like CHOMP, a
Pac-Man ripoff, or others that the games play like they are going through
sludge. I have a Gateway 2000 486 Vesa 33 with 8 Meg of RAM. I set the Windows
session to be in high resolution which gave me the 1024x768 even though I
can't run anything in a window. So, is there anyway to speed this up? I was
not running anything else at the time, so that was not the problem. Should I
put Windows to low resolution and will that solve it? Is there a way now that
I have it installed to change it to low res? All help is much appreciated!!
