Hello. I picked off some games from the net to run on our
lab's newly acquired IBM PC clone (386 CPU). The video
games run incredibly FAST on it -- too fast to play. Is
there some way to slow them down ? I suppose this is because
the games were developed for a slower version of the PC.
I don't know much about PC's so I don't ordinarily read these
newsgroups, so if anyone replies, could you please reply
to me directly ? I will post a summary to the net if I find
out anything useful.
Thanks in advance.
