A curious question
A curious question
Hi, my name is GaussNova, which, if you are wondering what that is, is a Supernova with 6/5 Gauss Rifles on it, and I need your help, so listen up. I am planning to grab a vintage Gateway 2000, that I believe comes with Windows 98/Windows 98 SE. What operating system is good to run MechWarrior 2: Battlepack? MechVM on my newer PC is sometimes odd and glitches up oftenly, though MechVM is a very nice program. Besides, it doesn't feel right, playing on a newer system, as the feeling of playing MechWarrior 3. So I hope you send some recommendations on what OS I should run it on. Thanks for helping!

Heya welcome!
Well, usually a 300 or 500mhz Pentium 3 will do fine with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP.
OS Windows 98 SE works the best for all the versions of the game.
Hope that helps

Re: A curious question
Thank you! I'll look at the 2000's specs, and see if there is a way to upgrade to a VooDoo 5*, which may be risky, due to it being an older PC (1997) 
But if I get the thing and it runs Mech2 and Mech3 "for giggles", ill notify you ASAP!

By the way, if you want to see the specs of this Gateway, here they are.

Processor : Intel Pentium II
Frequency : 266 MHz
RAM : 32Mo (256 Mo Max.)
Stockage : HDD 4 Go, CD-ROM 24x

Not sure if this will run Mech2 or Mech3 good... o_O
