Hi All.
Can anyone tell me if this machine will run GPL ok?
I've never played GPL, having been 3D deprived up until now.
PIII550
128mb
16mb Voodoo 3 2000
SB Live sound card
I ordered this machine today and now I'm wondering if it has the
right hardware for GPL to run at it's best. If it can be
improved there's still time to change the order.
Thanks
Nick
It will run GPL just fine. In my experience GPL and the V3 card were made
for one another plus that P3 gives you the CPU oomph (to use the technical
term:) ) to run full fields. Throw a decent internet connect into that
machine (no Winmodems!) and you'll be set for racing against the other
Aussies and the rest of the world at VROC.

into a wheel and peddle setup, check out the force feedbacks also. Head to
The Pits and start reading, there are loads sites pertaining to this sim
with all sorts of addons, enhancements, etc.

to up the V3 2000 to a 3000, considering that the price difference is not
that much...but that should be awesome, I run it really darn good on a
Celery450a with a Voodoo2 and a AWE64 ISA card.

This one should come quite close.
