This tells me that it's just the program itself not being optimized to take
advantage of today's hardware. Oh well, maybe next time.

With the 450 mhz and 64 mb RAM it all turned into a freaking slide show when
I started at the back of the grid... Yesterday evening I tried f1 2000 for
the first time on the upgraded machine and it runs great.. I started at the
back of the grid at the Nurburgring and with 22 cars, of which 10 visible it
ran really smooth, no hickups at all....
The GeForce's don't seem to be handling the game to well... Question will or
this is due to bad game programming or due to bad GeForce drivers....

I think you missed the point. With Sal's (and yours) machinery one would
_think_ that ANY sim could be run with max. details. And please don't give
me that ***about F1 2000 being released for future HW. Besides, 25 fps is
not that much. To me, it's unacceptably slow.

I think same, 25 is not enough FPS with F1 sim,
I like F1 2000 very much but i must race only with 5 AI drivers but i want
full grid.

Geezz, is it really worth
gutting your PC and emptying your bank account just to see the adverts
on the side of Schumacher's car? GP 2 runs fine on my P 2 -350 thank
you very much, I'll bet the AI of the other cars is better too.
SCGT - only good thing to come out of EA.

Which in this case EA Sports failed to do (not saying that it can't be fun
to play). I guess it pisses me off big time when a "game" is not completed
and when all little things are not taken care off! The frame rate for
instance! I also think that all other (serious) F1 simulators have more
value as a sim! therefore I think more fun to play!
I'm not going to start comparing it to GPL since I also don't think it's
useful to go down the road and keep ***in' how no "sim" comes close to
GPL! No! Specially a F1 sim that simulates a modern single seater! But all
things need to be in place for a game to satisfy me! And I think I can
consider my self as a sim ***?
I had much fun with GP2, spent so much time with F1RS (have bought a wheel
coz of it), Nascar series from Pappy,GPL, and most recently SBK 2K. I hope
this choice doesn't discredit me as a "sim racer", but F1 2000 gets a mild 5
out of 10 from me !

I know this is an old argument, but I find it amazing that the same company
(ok, distributor) can put out two games, using the same track, yet make one
of them horrendously wrong. SBK2000, for instance, seems to have the
parabolica right, but the F1 2k track has the tiniest of straights halfway
round the bend...I've posted before about this, and got some help (thank you
all), but I'm very much of the "thanks for the game, but come back when
you've fixed it" brigade. Runs like a pig on mine, which is to be expected
of my system, but a mate has it, P3 550, all that jazz, and it runs like
poop on his too, regardless of 3d card (tried mine and his).
A shame...

Rest of their stuff is garbage material I agree...

That's because _they_ _don't_ _make_ _anything_. A giant distributor
like EA is most likely to publish a whole load of indifferent balony,
and once in a while, a gem or two.
