Pentium II 333
160 MB RAM
Diamond Viper II Video Card
I have nothing running in the background when I play. Any ideas? Thanks.
That number ideally should stay 30 or above for smooth performance. If not
you need more horsepower from your CPU and video board.
You can also decrease the graphic details to bring that number up.

Just a friendly observation, but 160MB RAM isn't plenty any more, especially
if you run Windows. My 2 servers for N4 each have 1,024MB (1 Gig) RAM and
still have some issues. I think your main problem is your CPU. Pentium II
just isn't enough horsepower for this game. I wouldn't run it on anything
less than a PIII 700. Also, you need fast hard drives (ATA66-100) and you
also really need a 64meg video card. All my computers have 32 meg video
cards and trodge along, looking to upgrade my video card to 64 or 128 meg
card in my personal racing machine, servers don't require any fancy cards.
Hope all this helps, if enough to say ignore the minimum req's on the box.

I would suspect the Viper II video card. Check the readme file about
compatible video cards. You could try DirectX and OpenGL to see if
either one of those work.
