RJARRRPCGP Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 In fact, DirectX 8.0a won't install without a Pentium-class CPU... Unless you short circuit the installer CPU detection code...Then it worked without a problem on a 486 - Gotta love Microsoft!Reminds me of when I was reading a book about PCs and saw an article about games refusing to let you play on a 486 or a game installer refuses to continue on a 486. Well it was about the fiasco of Cyrix and/or AMD K5 processors not being officially supported by Windows 95 and with the mentioned processors, Windows 95 would report the processor being a 486 to programs. Gotta love those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
