Wow, is it me or is N4 a hog for PC req's??? Of course I have all details on and running on a PC with: PIII 733/133 with RAMBUS and a Hercules Ultra. The framerate with 42 other cars is about 19-24fps. I haven't test it with the new Detonator drivers yet and will do so today. Just wondering if a 1gig would get the 30fps needed? Thanks, Matt Miraglia SCORL Race Director www.scorl.com

Im running a 1Ghz with a GeForce2 Ultra and was getting upwards of 75fps at Daytona with 42 other cars. That was with old 5.45 drivers that came preinstalled in my system. I just installed the 6.50s a few hours ago but havent loaded up N4 yet.
In all fairness to Papy, we were warned about the System Requirements a couple of years ago, and the official line for delaying it as long as it was was so that the PC hardware could catch up to the requirements of the game. An Athlon 800/GeForce DDR with PC133 RAM (512MB in my case) is just dandy as long as I trim down the 'World' graphics to about 40%. Frankly, I haven't even noticed what it tuned down. -Larry "Skotty Flynn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
