I'm running an ancient AMD K6-2 450mhz, with a TNT2 video card. I'm
wondering if I should bother purchasing N4 to run on such a slow
system. All of the reviews I've seen out here so far have come from
people with Athlon/PIII 800+ mhz systems. I would appreciate feedback
from anyone with a "slow" system like mine who has tried N4.
Thanks!

It'll run, but I think you will have to run at 800X600 max, and kill off
most of the details.
Watch the mirror. It really sucks up some fps if you set it to max.

Note that the "recommended" system spec on the box is now a P3/600
(was 400MHz in info previously released by Papyrus). Take heed.

detail.

Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

It's with other cars on the track that people will run into huge slow downs
in frame rates.

folks with slower systems, while giving up some in the graphics department,
should still be able to run it. Plus, nice to know, we can grow into it as
we graduate up into faster systems.
If I recall, GPL was pretty darn graphic intensive when it was release, look
at all the folks now running it with all graphics on full and having a
blast, that could not do this a couple years ago.
N4 will be the same way.

Sorry to say this Don, but you're wrong here.
On 640 res, allmost all details off an set to low, it runs crappy on
my PIII500. Weird enough fps stays allmost the same when I change to a
higher resolution..
