 I got it...it sucks, plain and simple. The graphics suck, the gameplay is
so slow and choppy on my 200mmx, 64 megs RAM, Monster 3d that I don't see
how they can even consider trying to say it will run on a 133. I can't get
it to recognize my pedals, they show on the slider but it won't assign them
to the brake and throttle. I've turned every option either off or to low
and the game is virtually unplayable...I can go make a cup of coffee waitng
for it to load between passes. Did I mention lockups? It has frozen or
locked up more times than it has loaded and run for me. It has no
multiplayer or internet support either. I've never been more disappointed
with a game ever! I've been Drag racing for 20 years and a member of NHRA
for all of them, I heard of this game early last year and have been waiting
for it patiently. I bought Burnout:Championship Drag Racing when it came
out and started racing with it...we have SHRA, an online racing league, and
our season is about to start. We are about to start testing Burnout:
Player's Choice Edition which will have lots of new stuff for the game. If
your interested in Drag Racing on the computer buy Burnout...NHRA endorsed
the wrong game...this one is terrible!

I bought the game also.  The only problems that I am experiencing is I can't
assign my brake and throttle to my pedals.  I have had no experience with
lockups.  The complaint about the performance I cannot answer since I have a
P2-400 and that is like drag racing a Ferrari vs a solor car.

I've talked to tech & there already working on a patch for the pedal
assignment problems. I to have a p2-400 & have no performance problems.

Are the graphics as good as Quake2 or even close ??? Do the Cars look real
