So I fired up GPL...WOAH!!!!!! It used to run 12-17 fps in
Training...35-36 now! This is a whole different beast. I think I'm in
love. Maybe the colors are even better, but I might be hallucinating.
I've said my goodbyes to my loved ones...8^).

That'll be *all* down to the CPU. GPL isn't a memory hog - 32 megs is
enough to run it fine, and all more does is gives you a bigger replay
buffer.
Mind you, a Voodoo 3 would give even better results (and, in the UK
at least, is a lot cheaper than a GeForce). My machine (Celeron 400,
64 megs, V3 2000) can easily run a steady 36fps at 800x600 during a
20-car race once the first half-lap is over. Nice!

Hey J.P. Different animal altogether isn't it? Your in trouble now.
You could probably get another significant increase by upgrading that
Voodoo2.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Oooohhhh yes! I started with GPL on a P133 with a Voodoo 1, so I know
exactly what you mean!
