Even my Celeron 366 o/c to 550 has a hardtime keeping up. I'm getting around 18-33 fps with everything set to default except for the amount of cars. 6 drawn ahead, 3 behind, and no mirror. This is with a Creative TNT2 Ultra.

That PC would struggle with plenty of new games I think. "David Golding" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If you race online against full fields (with cars drawn ahead down low) then theres barely a hit at all. AIs another matter, but ai is not and never will be real people. pez David Golding <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
