My 450 PIII with no Voodoo runs the game pretty good after a little tweaking. You should have no big problems... -- s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m

Hi folks - Pardon what must be an old hashed-over question for you regulars. Much as I love GPL, I couldn't resist a chance to try out the Indy F1 course before I go up to watch the race this fall. So I just brought home a copy of EA's F1 2000. Then read some on-line reviews before I broke the seal on the box. Hmm. Seems my system may marginal for this sim. I'd appreciate some first-hand reports from anyone who's run it on a similar system: PIII 550 (pre-coppermine) 32 MB TNT2 (pre-ultra) 128 MB RAM MS Sidewinder FF wheel Also a good ol' 12 MB Voodoo 2 for running GPL, though probably not relevant to F1 2000. Thanks, Skip

I`ve got a PIII 550, V3 2000, 64 MB Ram, I f I am hotlapping I can have everything set to max and run smooth as silk, but in race conditions with 22 cars on grid it`s bloody awful, if you get the patch for it you will be able to change the number of cars in a race. If I set it to 10 cars it runs pretty good with a bit of detail turned down. It`s a good drive for sure, but i have had it on and off my hardrive for ages now cause IMHO the bad outweighs the good in this game. But opinions vary, hope this helps a little. Now GP3 is available I don`t think I will play it again. Snake.
