Hi Don,

Do yourself a favor and get a 3d-card (even a cheap Rendition v1K).
You'll get tons of comments about this, that, and the other of
which sim is best (lots of good ones), but it all comes down to a
matter of opinion - it's whatever turns your crank - and you can't
get that from a newsgroup thread.

FWIW, get one of the Rendition cards that has ICR2-3D bundled-in,
and by the time you get-over the fluid_frame_rate and 16-bit images,
you'll have something better to guage the next-generation of 3D-
enhanced sims.

BTW, that $60-bucks you would spend on CPR, is just about the cost of
a v1000 Rendition card...Pretty good deal!  =)

Cheers!

If you are at all satisfied with ICR2 I'd stick with that.  Yes, I think CPR
will run on your machine, but not very well.  Others may disagree, but
there's a lot of frustration between opening the box and satisfaction for
most, I think.  I've taken it off my hard drive for now.

Quite frankly, ICR-II (now known as CART), is an excellent sim, IM
(very) HO -- I'd take Marc's advice: buy a decent, inexpensive board
(another choice might be the Diamond Stealth S220), and try a couple of
sims. The CPR demo, BTW, won't tell you diddly-squat about the current,
unfinished, state of the sim.

Good luck!

I've heard both good and bad about CPR, and I don't
want to drop 60.00 on a game that won't run on my
pc.  I've got a P166 with 32mb ram, and no 3d
graphics accelerator.  Is there any chance it'll run,
or should I stick with ICR2?

Any help is appreciated!

The demo will give you a very good idea of how the game
will run for you.

Also, $60? Where do you shop? I've seen it advertised
for $40 with a $20 rebate making your net cost $20...
I think it's worth that... Well, personally, I think it's worth
$40 (no flames please - just my opinon), but I doubt I'd
pay $60...

Well, it will at least give you an idea of how the game will run
on a given system... at least, that was my experience...

Hi Mike,
Sorry maybe I should've mentioned I'm in Canada eh. :)
So that's 60 Canadian bucks.

Cheers,
Don
