If it only needs 96MB, not long, especially if you have a fast HD.

The hard part is the 17 hour install.

:rotfl: :yep:

Let's hope he didn't stick with a 4x CDR-drive to keep it authentic. :o

I really doubt he's actually going to get Aero to work, but you never know. :)

He likely won't. He would need at least a DX9 vid card and that would require the rare AGP version.

I agree. I love it when someone "retrofits" stuff to work on old machines. Reminds me when Doom 3 was released someone made it work with an old Voodoo card.

Because he is a gluten for installation pain, that's why. 17 hours? You do the math. He is an idiot for even trying! I agree, it is cool though. Hence why I posted it!
