I don't think it would run too well, unfortunately.

Also, I think I read somewhere that Aspyr was working on a universal patch for Generals. Anyone out there got a link they can send this way?

Aspyr made mention that they are working or going to work on a patch for C&C Generals/Zero Hour/Deluxe to make it Universal in their latest newsletter.

I have got it iinstalled on my mini (intel 1.6 core duo) and although it runs ok, it is a little on the slow side.
So if Aspyr are releasing a patch that would be great news.

Cant wait.
Thank you
