Well, your machine is running at 120MHz, and his at 90MHz. Papyrus
sims are not "lock-step" (technically, they couldn't be) which allows
machines of different processing capabilities to participate in a
multiplayer game without slowing the game down to the "least common
denominator" like some multiplayer games do.

I think it depends on what track you are racing at.  For example, if you
are running at Talladega, then I would guess you are racing around 197
mph.  However, if you are at Bristol then you might only be at 128 mph.

You are still running at 120Mhz and he is still running at 90Mhz.
It has nothing to do with the speed of your machine.

i would however, use the faster machine as the Answering machine.
Since it is hosting the race, it is better to have the faster machine
do it.
