GP2 hw requirements

Hello, I'm yet another one waiting for GP2 to ship.  But I'm afraid when
they finally release it I won't be able to play.  My computer is 486SX25.
I asked MicroProse (by e-mail) if the game will be playable (at least, I
don't expect SVGA and a great frame rate of course) in my computer, but
I'm waiting for two months and they still didn't answer me.  Can anyone
give me some info, please?

Thanks in advance

According to Microprose, the minimum requirement is a 486DX2/66. I'd
recommend that people with
low-end machines - who don't want to risk wasting their hard earned cash -
wait (you should be used
to waiting for GP2 by now) for the demo to be released.

It seems likely that there will be a demo, but that it won't be released
until a few weeks after the game ships. This is probably the only
reason Virtual Karts and Grand prix Manager sold any copies at all. :-(
Hopefully GP2 will be so utterly brilliant that nobody will mind.

Yes, but only X days/months/years AFTER the full game is released.
I've heard from a reliable source that it will be similar to the F1GP
demo,
i.e. a one track race-only demo.

On the web site it does say DX33  but A DX266 is a more sensible
option.  A processor  upgrade will  only cost about  20.00  (4000pts)
