I have a Voodoo 5500 in my B&W G3/300, 448MB ram, 18 GB Ultra-wide LVD Segate SCSI drive,VM off. I've found that Diablo II often slows down when many enemies are on screen and often gives halting performance when I'm running around. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? Is my CPU too slow? I thought this would be a killer combination.

Hey. I have the same graphic card on a G4 400 and it runs great. Do U have the latest driver for the voodoo?
Are u sure your problem is not some lag with the battle.net servers?
How much memory did U give to DiabloII?
Cheers 
Jonan

Thanks for the comments. I have 300MB alloted to DiabloII and I was relating the performance of the single player offline version. For some reason when I play battlenet games the frame rates seem to be higher. I wonder what's going on I'm going to check my driver versions right now.

Your framerates are probably much higher when playing on the realms than single player. My 333 iMac can barely play single player, but on realms is no problem. This is because the actual game is being hosted by battle.net servers, not your computer. This hosting gives your computer much more power to keep the framerates high.

Oh, and Jonan...
No offense, but I get very annoyed when people use "U" instead of "you" unless they're in a chat room. For forums, it is generally better to use "you."
Of course, that's just my personal opinion.
Regarding Diablo II, I average around 25-35 FPS while fighting on US East on my iMac 350 with the stock ATi Rage 128 VR and 128 MB RAM, all allocated to D2.
I would think you would be getting much higher framerates, and my game is completely playable, so I don't see the complaint here...

Thanks for the feedback guys,
Mac Freak I'm with you on the the U vs. you thing. When I see that I think of lyrics written by The artist formerly known as Prince. I wasn't complaining, I just thought that I might have something set wrong.
I'll just keep playing and enjoying
