Hi Glen ...

Your hardware certainly needs a boost: a major step in this direction would be a
suitable cpu and a improved 2d/3d graphics card.

FS98ers should run at least a 233 mmx or better a P2 (depending on $-budget). I
had the same problem (with similar fps) before my upgrade tp P2 266 (today i'd
go with at least P2 333 with a 66 mhz-board or more with a 100 mhz-board - money
matters!). I put in an ati all-in-wonder pro agp 8 mb for the basic stuff and
hooked a diamond voodoo2 12 mb to it .. and off we go ... fps in full screen and
full complexity in 40 - 50 range. I am not shure id 32 mb ram is enough, double
would be better any way combined with a good swap file size (to be set up in
system manager)
I am still running Win95 with the 'old' directx, i am still reluctant to change
to Win98 .. may be the day for this will come.

hope this helps you ...
