Hey,

I'm in the same boat. I have old games that run too fast/not at all/improperly. Trickstyle, GTA3, red faction & War3. I tried patches, setting affinity, compatibility, everything!.. and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. very annoying. Id never think that my computer would be TOO fast. But yea, as far as I've googled and such, ive found no solution but to play on an older machine...
