Diablo is not a 3D game, and can use a standard video card without difficulty. I'm playing it on an Aptiva K6-233 machine now with built-in ATI video, and getting creamed on level 10. :> Quake 2 will play without 3D acceleration. It looks crappy, but it works. Some Diablo CDs have both versions on it (I had one that didn't, and have one now that does). I was doing it to test the card. I have 95 also, OSR2 and 2.5. I'll give those a try. Maybe they will take care of the network problem. :> I'll also try installing DirectX 8 to see if that takes care of it. Thanks!
