John, I've really had no problems running 3DS under OS/2. It has been a big productivity boost for me since I have only one fast computer. I'm saying OS/2 will run 3DS better than Windows. Don't run OS/2, then run Windows under it, then run 3DS under that. Run 3DS under OS/2, in an OS/2 dos session. The worst case is that you'll have lots of problems and say the heck with it. The best case is everything works the first time, and you can now multitask 3DS. Just a note, with the PRO, try running one 3DS session (maybe a net slave one) in the background with the VGA drivers, then another one in the foreground with the vibrant ati ultra pro drivers. Then run OS/2 with the 8514/a drivers from IBM. Since the ATI GUP has separate memory for the 8514/a part and the VGA part, you should be able to multitask the VGA 3DS session. Bailey
