Yup, I have a Celeron A-300 with an Abit BH-6 motherboard.  128Mb PC100
SDRAM and a Diamond Monster 3D (voodoo 1; 4mb).  The CPU is overclocked
to 374Mhz.

Pretty much getting close to 36FPS most of the time with all details on
and 19 other cars.  It can sometimes drop to the twenties if there is a
lot going on during a race... lots of cars passing me while there is a
crash at some other part of the track or something.  At the starting
line at Mosport it is low twenties or very high ***s just at startup
but then immediately climbs and settles to higher numbers.

Cheers,
Gian Vitzthum.

I made an error, here folks!  Sorry!  <red faced and ducking for cover>

I changed driver character and didn't change the settings to go with
it.  My numbers below are with detail bias set to medium and sounds at
only four.  When I went back and put detail up to full and sounds up to
eight frame rates of about fif*** to twenty on the first corner of
Mosport with 19 opponenents made the game really sluggish.

I have since gone back and put detail bias back in the middle.

My apologies,
Gian.

Thanks very much.  I just want some more detail and about 10-12 cars so i
think i'll go for it.

I have a 300a w/BH6 mobo, Diamond Monster 1, 64mb SD100 ram.  The processor
is o/c to 450 and the 3dfx set at standard.  I get 30fps at the start from
the back of the field with all 19 cars and 32 to 36 fps at all other times.
 The graphics are at 640x480, no mirror detail, detail bias low, and sound
at 3.  Everything else is at the maximum.
