I was reading a post where someone said that the pentium code they
used was totally rediculous. I am wondering if they did this for a
reason...Maybe they did it because this way they won't hear about many
bad reviews. Like choppy graphics if a user is trying to run it on a
slower machine. The high requirements assure, for the most part, a
decent frame rate and overall satisfaction with the game. This will be
great insentave to those who can afford an upgrade and still allow the
lower funded users the ability to run the final version. Just my
opinion. Pretty clever if you ask me !!

The demo runs smoother on my machine with all the graphics options
turned on than Nascar 1 does with some of them turned off.  I do have
a P166 with 32 megs of ram so it should be smooth, but I am saying
that it is smoother than the first one.  The designers seem to have
done well with this one.  Can't wait till it hits the shelves.
