Yes, with the use of the "little white adapter" thing (this allows
your pedals/wheel to be configured as a "single" joystick, it works in
many of the "arcade" racing games). The NFS demo is also only 320x200
- the real game will allow 640x480, extremely fast on my P133, it
should rock on your P166 (make sure you drive in***pit mode - the
cars drive a bit sluggishly in the arcade views, no matter what the
speed). And NFS is a fantastic game when combined with a wheel (I have
a T2), the feel of the driving is very realistic, and very different
for the different cars. It also has excelent tracks - five closed
circuit (two of them bonus tracks), and three long, winding open-road
courses (both with and without cops/traffic). And the graphics are
really beautiful - you will definetly have a few crashes caused by
sight-seeing!
Any good computer game store should have one.
