For my work I'm kind of stuck on a deserted island with an old P2-366MHz laptop with 128Mb RAM and XP... what would be the most enjoyable racer/simulator I could run on that PC? Any suggestions? Thanks!

N 3 and Nascar Legends may be border line but give it a try... GP 2 definately will...I used to run that on a P1 90 Mhz.. GPL "may" run but you may have trouble with it if you have a video card 32 Mb or less...It was impossible for me to run an entire race until I got a 64 Mb card. Indy car 2 if you could find it as well as MS Precision racing but you may have config problems running under XP Hope this helps, Timmy

Seriously - give Viper Racing a try. It was very resource-efficient. I think I remember frame rates of about 100 on a P2 overclocked to 392MHz (Riva 128, if I remember correctly). Ryan

I have an old 300Mhz ThinkPad 600e with XP on it. Once it boots it's not too bad :) It only has 96MB of RAM. I wouldn't want it as a primary machine, though :) It's a work back-up. -Larry "Andrew" <spamtrap@localhost> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ran very well actually. Ok.. great! I'll go try and find it. Shouldn't be too expensive anymore I guess :) Thanks! Bram
