    It's still slow, but > 10X better than it was before doing your suggestion. Do you know how dgVoodoo work and could get better performance? I feel my system could handle the game--considerably--better than this improved version; at the beginning of the OP I mentioned what it can handle.

    Thanks again
    all you can do is play with the settings in dgvoodoo to try and find the sweet spot

    @DynV -

    Why don't you virtualize the game under XP on your system? Then use Compatibility Mode?

    I love retro gaming too, but yeah, the prep time needed to optimize how these titles run on newer machines is a real hassle...
