Could anyone who has a Dell XPS 200mhz mmx computer system give me any
info on how well N2 installed and also if there were any problems with
calibrating wheel/pedals using W95 version B? I take it these are two
separate problems? I am planning on buying this system.
Thanks
Keith
I have been running N2 with FAT 32 and have had no problems.

N2 should install fine, as no vendor that I know of is shipping their
systems with FAT32 enabled. Even if it is enabled (though highly
unlikely) you'd need over 2.1GB free on the drive to potentially cause
problems. As far as the controls go, its really a case by case
situation. Hopefully Papy will figure it out and give everyone not as
fortunate as me (I'm one of the small minority who's wheel works with
OSR2).

On the contary. I know 3 people with over 2 gig partitions and they have
no problem running ICR2 or Nascar 1&2. The only problem one of them
encountered was the Matrox Millinium card in GP2 running the older bios
caused the pc speaker to make weird nosie. After downloading the new bios
everything has been perfect

I was planning on running in the NROS and thought you had to run
through W95 in order to do this. Perhaps I am mistaken??

You do. What's the concern?

You can get a much better system (both faster and cheaper) by buying
the individual parts yourself and building your own. Pre-configured
systems are great for some people, but not if you want the most bang
for your buck.

I have great respect for the value/quality of Dell and Micron systems;
IMHO, they are a much, much better value than Compaq, Packard Bell, or
Gateway 2000. I can assemble a computer from scratch as well, but I don't
since I don't have the time or patience. (plus, not needing to worry
about some parts company trying to rip you off) Mail-ordering is the way
to go, and you can customize systems from Dell and the others. Plus,
next-day delivery of a screwy component that fails (not because of user
error) is great. That way your work (or ***) won't be interrupted for
too long.
Besides, a lot of the savings from buying components is actually illegal
since those companies are probably selling you OEM versions; Dell and the
others are using OEM components legally. Not that I care about
legalities, but just to make a point.
