N4 system comparison

What with all the notes about how N4 won't install or run on some machines, I just thought I'd add my findings. I find that the full version runs better than the demo did. At least I have sound now. I didn't with the demo. I have to turn all the graphics details way down, and run in 800 by 600, and only use a 20 car field. My frame rates are only 15 to 18 or so. But it's enough to see that Papy has a winner. It's surprisingly smooth when I'm by myself on the track. It installed in about five minutes on my system. And never any freeze-ups or anything. It just chugs along like it should. Albeit at a slower frame rate than it would have if I had a faster system. Which is: AMD K6-2 350 Mhz 128 Megs RAM Voodoo 3 2000 PCI
