Hi All,
Wondering if I should get GPL based on my system
AMD K6-300
32mb SDRAM
Virge-DX 4mb
How will it run on my system....if at all
Thanks...

Right now, you'd only be able to run it in software mode, and
performance would probably be pretty poor. I would recommend either
replacing your video card with an 8Mb Hercules Thriller (~$140), or
adding a Voodoo2 card (~$200), so that you can use 3d acceleration. GPL
only supports hardware acceleration for Rendition and 3dfx. I would also
recommend adding another 32M of RAM. Your CPU should be fine.

Im running it on a p200mmx 42meg DRAM Voodoo 1. After tweaking the detail
byass and some frame rate testing (memorys of gp2 processor occupancy) I
came up with a pretty enough comprimise to allow 19 ai cars in 640x480 at
15fps. Very playable.

I have a system similar to Berno, but 15fps seems a bit slow. However,
I'd be interested in what your graphics settings are to obtain that rate.
I would prefer to maintian at least 20fps, and so far that is easy because
the other cars disappear at the start of the race!!

Not without a video upgrade.
Slowly. V2100 at a minimum, or Voodoo 2 will go a long way to making
it usable if you can afford it.
YES! VOODOO is the way to go.There is no better upgrade for gameing
anywhere.
