     @graf I switched to NT4 as soon as possible because I absolutely could not keep pile of shit Windows 98 from crashing.

     @graf I sacrificed, tons of stuff didn't work in NT4. Win2K was a lot better but shit still had to be carefully picked

     @tk If the game is DirectX 3 and was coded correctly (uncommon) then it will work. Most Windows-compatible games just crashed under NT4 though.

     I wonder how many games at the time actually used MMX instructions.
