Does Ubisoft's F1 Racing run on an AMD CPU?

Hi there,

did anybody try to run Ubisoft's F1 Racing  on an AMD K5  or K6 CPU? I
just tried a K5/166 and it didn't even start?!?!

Since I'll be getting a new  K6 soon, I'm really curious  if this is a
new AMD bug which also applies to the K6.

Please respond.

Do you have some sort of 3dfx card installed on your system? If not, forget
it or buy one (e.g.: "Diamond Monster 3D")!!!

no it doesn't !  27 meg. d/l and it dont even try to run on my system
: AMD k5/166 , QDI m/b, 32 meg edo. double-click f1_rs.exe and
......nothing. I borrowed an Intel P90 and tried to run it, guess
what, no problem, it  started & ran ok (quite slowly though). This amd
k5/166 is going and i'm buying intel. Is it lazy programming or AMD
incompatibility ? Do I care which ? It just doesn't run.

 It doesn't work with the K5, but it's working fine with all K6.

Runs Awesome on my Friends machine.
K6200
40megs
TX97 Mother

Runs better on his that mine.
200mmx
64megs
IT5H mother

Sounds like your just having configuration problems.
The K6 is an awsome CPU.
It also runs GLQuake just as good as mine.
We both got a 3DFX.
