I'm about to get a new computer sometime this month. I was wondering what
would be a good system that would run GPL? I have a 200MHz, 64 meg ram, and a
Screamin 3d video card right now. As you can tell, this is not even good to
race at the Ring in full detail :-)
I would like to race with 19 cars, some detail, and obviously a fast frame
rate. A P 400 is looking good for me (budget wise).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I changed the soundcard to a SB Live! value recently, and that
improved sound quality and framerate compared to my old SB AWE32 card.

Ive only heard of problem with 83mhz with some PCI peripherals. I havent read
anything about problems with the 75mhz bus setting.
Again... my PC has been running at 450 since I bought the C400 2 months ago and
has been running absolutely great.
Now Im sure Ill go home and boot up my PC and the thing will fry or something ;)

Same here: Running a celeron 400 (ppga type) at 450/75mhz bus, just
fine (apart from texture problems in gpl with a voodoo I, so glide 2x
2.53 is not an option). The machine runs 24/7 (Linux of course,
looking for aliens, see www.setiathome.com ;-) so the cpu never gets
a rest, and it has been fine for two weeks now. I'll go for 500MHz if
it keeps up, but for now 450 is just fine.

There is a setting in the SoftCPU Setup called Hold on Error or
something similar. You need to change this to No. Then try it.

I honestly dont know... whatever the default is on the Celeron 400. I did not
change any voltage settings. I will have to take a look when I get home from work
tonight.
