Processor type and speed: Cyrix p-166+
RAM: 32 Mb
Video card: S3 trio 64V+
Video RAM: 2 Mb
Detail in VGA: You wouldn't care about VGA
Detail in SVGA: All graphics on exept sky. No texturing in the mirrors
and a couple of option off (Who cares about mirrors anyway? Eh? and
does ICR2 have mirror textures?)
Frame rate in SVGA: 21.3
Input controller used: Joystick
Sound card: A really ***one
Any brief comments on set-up:
Anybody who was wondering if they should buy a Cyrix chip and were
hearing things about it being slower with some games (it is a bit
slower with ICR2 and a pig with Quake) don't have to worry about GP2,
it's very good, it might even be faster than a Pentium (I can't be
sure about this).
Apart from the technical stuff, the game is really good and nobody who
buys the game will be disapointed (if he has a good computer of
course).
it looks a bit arcadish compared to ICR but you get used to it. The
only thing I don't really like is the wheel lock-up under braking and
losing traction under 1st and 2nd gear accelration. While probably
realistic, it's a bit too sensitive for joysticks. ( That's what I
feel for Monaco, where you're using 1st gear a lot. It's better for
other circuits)
