I own different flightsims: 1-2-3 Combat F.S. of Microsoft, Battle of Britain, Jane's Attack Squadron , Comanche 4, IL2 and FB-AEP.Of course
I'm waiting for Pacific Fighters.
Now I'd like changing my pc, but I would play
all my old games on the new machine.I tested all the games on a PIV 2.8 Prescott mobo Intel
D875PBZ graph. card Sapphire Ati 9800 Pro and all of them worked fine.Do you think that a new
mobo with a 915 or 925 chipset and a PCI Express interface instead of a AGP slot can create problems with my beloved games that
listed above.Thanks in advance

I know JANE'S USAF, as well as JANE'S F-15 don't. Even tried to run the compatability thingy in XP, for pre XP programs with no luck.

They work on mine just fine, same with doom and wolfenstein. I think the trick is to have your hard drive set on FAT 32 instead of NTFS.. I have NTFS setup on my second HD.

There won't be a hardware compatiblity problem. OS compatiblity is another issue.
