Does anyone have this setup?  Does the game run well enough to be smooth
and fun?

Thanks, Al

  So so,

With 64 Mb, that is, i first ran it with 32 and that got me nowhere.

I run on 800x600 ( Strangely enough that makes not much of a difference
compared to 640x480) and have set some details in the mirrors to "off" and
turned  the detail  bias down. It now is fairly playable with 5 ai cars.
Check out the ai tweak to get  some intersting races with this number of
cars.

Enjoy,

Arthur.

Al,

I have this set up, with 96 RAM.  The game runs fairly well and tolerable
with some features on and some features off.  I can race with at least 10 AI
cars; any more gets to be pretty rough, especially at the start.

Online and during training I can get between 25-36 fps.

The game is very playable.

Boohoo to all those here who want to spout about their grand and powerful
systems.  Though I wish I had one (not to the point of envy, though), such a
system is not absolutely necessary to run GPL.

This game is good enough to take up most of my time either racing online
with a few racers or offline with ten AI racers.  I don't need 19 racers.

Take Care,

Alanb

 Alanb,
    Bully for you. I have a P2/300, but my partner in crime (coworker) is
running a P/200 with the patented 'Tons O Ram' (128megs) and a V1 card. I'll be
damned if his machine doesn't run pretty darn well. Sure, you have to turn down
a few things, but the sim is certainly _very_ playable. Now if  I can just
complete one lap around the Ring without spinning out, my life will be complete
<ggg.>
    All the best, Mike
