Somebody else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello all,
Is it realistic to put GP2 on a 486DX4-100, 8Mo, video: S3 2MO ???
Can you please reply here or at
Thanks in advance.

I have much the same computer except with a ET4000W32p graphics card
which I believe will be quicker than yours in DOS (but by how much?!)
so can't say for sure that you will get the same sort of performance.
However, that said! I use SVGA mode (don't like the VGA mode, like
Need for Speed I can't see far enough in the distance in VGA) with 12
fps (which is OK but would like more) and the following details on -
forward kerbs, verges - mirror track, kerb. I find it more than
playable on a DX4/100 but obviously more CPU power would be better.

I am running an DX4-100MHZ with an VESA board and ELSA TRIO 1000
works fine. 18 Pictures/sec.
Greetings Frank
On.my.DX4-120,.I.must.run.with.10fps.selected.in.order.to.keep
it.from.going.into.slow.motion.through.chicanes.and.going.onto
pit.straights...Can.even.come.up.to.cars.without.it.slowing.down,
but.I.can.forget.about.passing.in.realtime;.slow.motion.is
unavoidable.then...This.is.in.VGA.with.all.details.off.except
smoke.(which.appears.rare.enough.that.I.leave.it.on...wanna.see
these.flames.people.are.talking.about...so.far.only.have.seen
engines.smoking).
Turn.off.all.details.and.move.the.framerate.to.8.or.10.and.notice
how.much.faster.your.car.seems.to.drive...>That's<.the.speed.you
should.be.moving...Otherwise.the.game's.running.in.slow.motion.
Yes,.my.space.bar.is.not.working.at.the.moment...Please.pardon.my.dots,
but.this.is.much.quicker.than.typing.ALT+32.between.every.word.
