Should work okay as long as you have the Voodoo.

MG,
My old system was a non-MMX P/166, and F1rs ran just dandy with a
Voodoo1 card. The more system RAM the better, but 32 may get you by.
With RAM prices as they are now, heck, just slap in 128 megs and a
Voodoo1 card and I'll guarantee it'll run just great. All the best, Mike

Hi,

I have P200, non MMX, Voodoo 1 (Canopus 3D), 80 MB
F1RS runs absolutely fine.
I'm sure the magic word is Voodoo, the CPU doesn't play that role.

Regards

Jens

I don't think so. I'm playing F1RS with a AMD K6, Monster 3D I and
64 MB SDRAM...very smooth...no problems at all ;-)

Also, man mailt sich...

I've got your same system, and to get acceptable starts I need to limit the
field to 10-12 cars. Graphic detail doesn't limit it nearly as much as # of
cars.

Offtopic: Are you intentionally removing the Re: in the subject lines
