200mmx,64meg ram, 8meg thriller. All graphics, no ai cars solid 36+fps.
Minimum graphics, with textures on -track,wall,groove,skid
marks,tire,driver arms,beveled tires.
No dynamic or specular effects. Minmum bias, few objects. Hmmm doesn't look
so good but gets 25fps around a couple cars, 20 fps in a small pack and 5
in a crash. Not great but IMO if you want to drive a state of the art sim
you should realize you need a state of the art machine. I have only raced a
little bit, Monza, and can run in the top ten, when dicing with cars the ai
really comes through, they go inside/outside and only ram you when you blow
it. My timing in upgrading was a little off, got the game yesterday and
today my parts came in- abit bx6 mb, celeron 300a, 128 meg pc100 ram which
will be overclocked to 450. I can see it now, all graphics, all cars, all
fun.

I have a problem
