On a 486, I'd recommend Fusion PC originally by Microcode Solutions but recently bought by Emulators Inc (long long story). I've actually run it on a 486 and it's actually usable, barely. It runs in pure DOS and thereby avoids the overhead of Windows. You'll just want lots and lots of memory and a decent video card. I'd probably still recommend Fusion up to maybe a P-150. On anything up to 250 or 300 I'd recommend a bare-bones Win95 installation with as much hacked out as possible (IE, etc). You can use IEradicator from www.98lite.net for that. Even on faster systems I'd recommend 98 Lite to trim down Windows for running B2, if all you want to use it for is that. I recently put Windows 98 with 98LIte on a Celeron 500 and I'd forgotten just how snappy Windows could be with all the crap trimmed out *ducks* ;) Hope this helps :) Scott Holder -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
