          I will soon be upgrading from 16 to 32 MBs of RAM,
my question is, will this have any affect on the performance of
GP2, or is it unable to use RAM beyond 16 MBs?  Any help appreciated,
please e-mail if it's no trouble....thanks!

I've just upgraded from 16MB to 32MB and it's made no difference at
all to GP2 and I never expected it too. It's made a huge difference
with Win95 though, which is what I really wanted the extra RAM for
anyway.

Yeah, but doesn't '95 fly with 32EDO!
From most things I've read about the coding and performance of
GP2, it relies most of all on the raw CPU speed.  RAM (after 16mb)
and video card don't make all that much difference.  (I didn't
say NO difference :-)

Univbe and s3spdup/s3vbe don't make that much difference either.

Still, I wouldn't give it up.  Where else can you experience flying
150m through the air at 250kph, lose a front wheel, nose cone and
both from and rear wings on landing travelling backwards still at
250kph, slam it into reverse and try to turn around to trundle off
the the pits only to have your car snapped in half by Michael
Schmacher as he desperately locks up trying to avoid you.
(love monza, love GP2)
