I am barely running GPL on an original TNT. Would you like to move that
TNT2 off of your desk? :)

Ah yes, I'll replace the Geforce3 with a V3 as soon as I can. ;-)

Yikes! What can you do in 4-bit?! Even 3 years ago...

Actually that might give you even better results, especially in 3dfx
games. When I had a PIII450, I had better fps in GPL with my v3 than
with my GF2 GTS. Upgrading to a PIII866 really made the GF2 work and
fps is much better with the GF2 card now than with a v3.

You just can't compete against native glide.

Just loaded them... they look awsome, but do they change the track at all?
For some reason, after adding the new textures, the chicane at Monaco seems
wider. Anyone else notice anything like this?
