AMD K6 MMX and INDYFAST?

so has anyone heard if the new AMD processor will run INDYFAST?  If
so, what kind of frame rates?  As good as one might expect from a
200mhz processor?  I would like to upgrade soon, and am intrigued by
the new AMD.

OK, here is my brief experience with AMD-K6-200MHz (running still at
2,5*83MHz) in Indyfast. Track: new Laguna Seca, all graphics options
on, frames set to 30fps, 32 drawn ahead and 32 drawn behind, 6 cars
heard, anti-aliasing on, full textures in mirrors, full field in a
race, etc (to make it short everything on). In normal racing I get 28
to 30 frames with very brief dips to 24-25fps. When I create an
almighty dust and smoke 'cover' for my car the framerate indicator
drops to 18-20fps but after the air is 'clean' again the frames climb
to the 30fps bracket.

I haven't driven Indycar2 that much but after this latest test I will
spend more time with it. The driving experience was way above the
Nascar engines in my opinion.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a change of CPU to you David. You'll
be impressed to say the least.

Greetings,

I ask Julian Data, he has the K6, and he to told me, yes Indyfast is
running, and there is also no jerkiness in Nascar 2 too. For the speed ,
maybe he will reply to your post himself.
