Well, I got the demo.. I should have known I wouldn't be able to play
it, but I HAD to try! Well, since I'm runnin' a 486/66 w/8 megs of RAM
and you need a pentium w/ 16 MEGS I REALLY should have known. But I'm
gettin 32 megs of ram soon and I'm hopin it'll work. My friend says he
can go around in the menus, but if he tries to drive, he gets that all
familiar GRANULAR. He's got a 486 w/ 20 megs of ram. If anyone has some
info on runnin N2 w/ a 486 let me know...

I also tried install the game into several other computers....
AMD 486/120 16MGs ram - Crashed when "Drive" was selected
AMD 586/133 32MGs ram - Crashed when you get into the***pit
P75 40MGs ram - Ran Just fine
P133 16MGs ram - Ran great!
Cyrix p150+ 32MGs ram - Crashed
Intel 486/50 16MGS ram - locked up sometimes.. but too slow to play in hi-res
Packard bell P120 - 16mgs ram - Crashed, but what do ya expect from a PB? :)
I'm gonna d/l a copy at school and see if I it will work on the i486/66
tomorrow
Maybe Intel paid seirra/papyrus alot of money to do this? Ya know "Intel, the
offical machine of the Nascar Racing League" :| I just can not believe the
game will work on a non-P machine, and that disgusts me. I can't believe they
would release anything that would REQUIRE a Pentium and nothing else. I
really hope that this is some sort of "bug" and will not be carried over to
the final release. Only time will tell....

hi-res
Don't bother, the DEMO has Pentium only code in it. It won't
run on anything BUT a Pentium.

As a programmer, I know that compiling for Pentium results in smaller,
optimized object code. With such a large demo, it makes sense Papyrus
would try to reduce the size as much as possible.
Doesn't explain the non-Intel problems though.
