Your 30fps will go down to 12fps. Even my Celeron 366 o/c to 550 has a
hardtime keeping up. I'm getting around 18-33 fps with everything set to
default except for the amount of cars. 6 drawn ahead, 3 behind, and no
mirror.
This is with a Creative TNT2 Ultra.

That PC would struggle with plenty of new games I think.

If you race online against full fields (with cars drawn ahead down low) then
theres barely a hit at all.

AIs another matter, but ai is not and never will be real people.

im a 33k modem user (detuned to 31,200bps for stability) in the n4 demo i
was regularly racing on american servers from the UK with pings of between
200 and 400 (just like GPL).  mostly good quality connections.

im in vroc alot, same with irf (only have the n4 demo), and the people there
dont complain about any warp theyve seen from me (even though it invariably
happens every now and again).

You're doing better than I am right now, and I have "High Speed" Cable (or
so they say on the bill when I pay it each month)...

Correct.  The AI will never drive the wrong way on a track causing accidents
'for the hell of it'...
