You're probably SOL for Unreal and will need to boot into OS 9 to play it. Don't forget that Classic is an emulation, it's not like when you boot into OS 9 so it will never be as fast as booting in 9. As for Diablo, I don't know. Blizzard has released an OS X version of Diablo II which plays quite decently on my Pismo 500MHz, although I have to use software-rendering mode to get a decent performance, as there are some problems with their OpenGL OS X version... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large ones.
