GPL performance problem

What is wrong?

I downloaded GPL demo for a test testride, but the framerate was ridiculous.

My system is overclocked Celeron 266 to 400/100MHz, 64Mb, G200.
Is there something special about this game since every other game runs as in
PII 400...

Without a Rendition or Voodoo card your wasting your time! Do you realise that your G200
is not functional with GPL? There is no D3D support for the demo or for the full release
version (to date as far as I know).

Er...Nothing, Well, except that you need a VooDoo (1 or 2) or a
Rendition card to run it well...The software renderer in the demo is
not optimized, and will be better in the release version, but one of
these video cards make a world of difference.

FWIW, In your case I would consider a Voodoo card, since this is a
add-on, and can coexcist with your G200, where the Rendition would
replace the G200. Please note, this advise only goes for GPL. If you
use other software (read: games) an other advise could be given.

Don't forget, NEVER upgrade before software is released!! It seems
that GPL in multi-user mode heavenly depends on the L2-cache, which
the Celeron is lacking. Maybe there are more suchs isues, which we
don't know about right now. It would be very painfull when you spend a
lot of money, only to find out when the game is released, that it
wasn't enough.

Unless you have air-bags and full racing harness installed, of course.
