GPL, AMD XP 1600 and V5

I guess some people will tell me : Told you so! :)

Awright, got my Epox MB, amd xp 1600 cpu, 512 mb ddr ram and 60 gig
hdd friday and spent the whole evening rebuilding my computer. Fun
isn't it :) Installed Windows Millenium since my test with win2000
didn't bear fruit since I had trouble getting both GPL and N4 running.

Tested a few games. Rally Trophy demo (40 fps 1024x768 2xfsaa)  and F1

GPL were doing fine on 1024x768 2xfsaa on my own system and with the
new system it was 36 fps rock solid starting from the back of the grid
at monaco. So I tried 1280x1024. D'oh! 29-30 fps. WTF ? Is the V5 that
much of a bottleneck ?

Guess a new video card is soon on it's way. If only ATI could resolve
their driver issue...
