I E-mailed Microprose Support to find out what it would take to run GP2 at
25 fps FULL Graphics SVGA.  Well, here it is...

        -Pentium P-200
        -40 MB Ram
        -8 MB 3D Video Card

uhh..anybody have this? Sony Playstation is pretty quick and great
graphics...and only runs $400....only problem...GP2 not available
for it.

Should we take from this that GP2 is going to support 3D cards soon?

CPU power yes, I can see that.  But where dos the 40mb RAM come in to
play?  The program can't even handle a 20 second replay with 16mb,
what's it going to do with another 24?  Also, what's with and 8mb 3D
video card?  GP2, can't even handle vesa extension 2.0!  How would it be
able to figure out how to use the 8mb of video RAM and the 3d
capabilities.

Oh, I get you....  This is just a joke....  Either it's your joke, or
Microprose Support has a very sick sense of humor.
