A decent GPL computer???

Ed, Any 400MHz should be OK. I'm using a K62-400 with an 8M Hercules Thriller and can get 36fps at 800X600 virtually all the time with almost all detail and 19 cars. Its a little slower at 1024, so I don't use that resolution. These numbers are for off-line racing. I go to 640X480 and "many" instead of "all" for on-line, but haven't had much luck staying connected. I understand a SoundBlaster Live Value can allow you to play with lots of sounds, too. I run 4 or 5 sounds with my Awe 32. for what it's worth, DD

Thanks for the info! Ed

Here's the specs on my PCs: 1: Pentium II 350 OC'd to 466 (3.5X133 FSB!!) Abit BH6 Motherboard Diamond Stealth II S220 (4MB Renditon Card) 64MB PC100 SDRAM No-name SB16 copy sound board Western Digital 6.4GB HD GPL: Off-line, NEVER below 34 FPS. Don't have a fast enough connection for online, though. 2: Celeron 300a OC'd to 450 (4.5X100) ASUS P2B Motherboard Matrox Millenium G200 8MB 64MB PC100 SDRAM SBAWE64 IBM 8.4 GB HD GPL: 20-30 FPS. *Using G200 patch, but not OpenGL...yet...* The video card seems to make a large amount of difference...even with the Celeron at 450, or the PII at 434, it STILL got 33-up FPS.... -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652
