What with all the notes about how N4 won't install or run on some machines,
I just thought I'd add my findings.

I find that the full version runs better than the demo did. At least I have
sound now. I didn't with the demo. I have to turn all the graphics details
way down, and run in 800 by 600, and only use a 20 car field. My frame
rates are
only 15 to 18 or so. But it's enough to see that Papy has a winner. It's
surprisingly smooth when I'm by myself on the track.

It installed in about five minutes on my system. And never any freeze-ups
or anything. It just chugs along like it should. Albeit at a slower frame
rate than it would have if I had a faster system.

Which is:
AMD K6-2 350 Mhz
128 Megs RAM
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI
