enough for N4 ?

Nowhere near a computer genius here so I'm asking for opinions while giving little to work with. Have Nascar,N2,N99 and N3 and all have worked well both on and off line racing. After reading all the posts on N4 I'm asking for opinions on whether to even but the game for my computer. Specs as follows: 400 Celeron (not overclocked) 256 meg ram TNT 2 Video card 24x Samsung SC140B cd All opinions welcomed but please don't flame the ignorant. Thanks in advance

You can run it, albeit you will need to tone it down to be able to run it at an acceptable frame rate. It's an awesome sim though, and one you can grow into as you upgrade. -- Don Burnette "Daddyo618" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Nowhere near a computer genius here so I'm asking for opinions while giving > little to work with.

If you are a true fan of the Nascar series by Papyus, It is worth geting on your system. You will not truly enjoy the game to its potential, but you will be able to experience the best racing yet, and get valuable experience in racing. That way if and when you upgrade, You will already be past the learning curve. -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] "Daddyo618" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Nowhere near a computer genius here so I'm asking for opinions while giving > little to work with.

If you like eye candy, like I do, I'd suggest an upgrade first. You'll need most options off & only few AI to get any kind of frame rate. If you can live without eye candy, go for it. -- Fester

You can run it, but you are going to have to run 800X600X16, and you'll have to tame down the graphics all around. You will also need to trim the mirror detail down to minimum. The mirror is a real FPS killer. You really need a faster CPU and Video Card... I'm not sure your processor has the horsepower to feed a faster video card, so you should wait and do both. -Larry "Daddyo618" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Nowhere near a computer genius here so I'm asking for opinions whilegiving > little to work with.

When recommending Overclocking, please make sure you present ALL sides of the story... Overclocking doesn't work for everyone. It can, and has, eaten hardware. I have nothing against people doing what they want with their systems, but when recommending this sort of thing to someone who didn't even ask, please let them in on the whole story :) It breaks my heart when someone presents a burned-up PC they tried to overclock based on something they read on the Internet that didn't give the full story :( -Larry "Sjoerd de Roest" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hvzh6.1668$[email hidden]... > Daddyo618 wrote in message<[email hidden]>... > >Nowhere near a computer genius here so I'm asking for opinions whilegiving

Thanks for all the opinions. I am going to buy the game and as suggested will at least be past the learning curve when I can upgrade. Thanks for all the tone down suggestions. It should at least let me run the game.

Sure-you can run it-only it'll look like you just installed N1!
