out-of-date hardware and an out-of-date simulation; however, here it is.
My son has been interested in Indycar and CART racing for sometime due
to his uncle being a crew member in those series. I do not want to spend
a small fortune on computer hardware for a game, but I would like him to
be able to play something like CPR. We have a Pentium 100, upgraded with
the P200 MMX Overdrive, 24 MB memory, a fairly small and crowded
hard-drive, and a Thrustmaster steering wheel. Although ICR2 works fine
on this system, CPR with its nicer graphics is so slow as to be
unusable. I upgraded the video card to a Viper 330, which did nothing.
Now I have upgraded again to a Voodoo2. There has been a slight
improvement, but still the game is hardly usuable. Given that this game
came out some time ago, it is hard for me to believe that we need a PIII
500 with 128MB memory to run it. I am ready to try increasing the
memory, but I am tired of spending a $100 here and $100 there and still
having nothing to show for it. I would truly appreciate the advice of
the newsgroup for guiding me in upgrading our system to achieve this
objective, particularly recognizing that this program is not a burning
issue for the group.
Have a happy holiday, Larry
