yeah well... i have a P200 with vodooo 1 with details on a normal
setting i'll get 7fps with practice... so that's pretty unplayable...
I Think I'll just have to get me a PII reeeeeeaaaaaaal soon...

Well, I have a 233MMX, pretty similar. But an 8MB Thriller card really
helps it out. Without it, it's impossible, but at the Glen, I got 36 fps
until the pit straight, where it would drop to 32 or so in training with
full detail. I have it overclocked now via a 75mhz bus, so I get 36 in
training almost always. However, I have anti-aliasing off and dynamic
skids off... dynamic skids are the biggest CPU hogs. When I first got
the Thriller, I thought, WOW those dynamic skids look cool! Some were
from sliding sideways, but most were from brake lockups. I'd play for a
while and then at certain corners, I'd notice the frame rate taking HUGE
dives. Couldn't figure it out... then I realized THOSE areas were ones
that were drawing MANY dynamic skid marks. Not good. Ever since then,
I've had them off.
Hope this helps,
Dave

I would say a Hercules Thriller is your best bet to replace the voodoo1.
I have it on a P200 and with 90% graphics on I get 36fps in training and
around 25-29fps with 10 AI cars.
Although I'm getting a PII-450 voodoo2 system soon :-)

Besides, I've always found it a little unsettling to come flying into a turn
where there's a lot of fresh ***, knowing that I was the bonehead that
left it there!

I'm using a Pentium 166, 32MB of RAM and a Voodoo II. I can get around 25fps
with EVERTHING switched on, and up to 35/36fps with some features turned
off, not that there's all that much of a difference between the two.
I'd say that if you have a slow system, like mine, the Voodoo II is your
answer...

Perhaps this is just a little obsessive, but then, with a game like Grand
Prix Legends, I have the right.
