I think you can....I myself have a similar machine (P75/8Mb RAM)and can
play the game in VGA with all details on with frame rates of about 16
fps.
But once you've seen it in SVGA you'll even accept it when it manages
about 11 fps, as is the case with my system. I then have trackside
objects medium and most of the detail on (except for sky and track
texture). If you'd turn down track objects to low or none you could
manage 14 fps. With the race, when a lot of other cars are in visual
sight, things are getting a bit slow, as is the same with for instance
Monaco or when you're viewing from points other than the***pit.
I think you should look at your videocard aswell, it might be even more
important than your processor or RAM. I myself have a Diamond Stealth SE
(1 MB) and that appears to be good enough for my system.
So, VGA on a P60 runs perfect.
SVGA on a p60 will just do, I guess.
