I picked it up today hoping for a good game with low graphics. I'm running a P200 with Voodoo2 2000 and I figured if I turned the resolution down I could play a race at a decent speed. Wrong. It's jumpy even with the most unattractive of graphics. The handling doesn't seem realistic and apparently F1 drivers are like dogs, because they really like sniffing your butt going into the turns. I'll stick to GP2 until GP3 comes out, however I figure the graphics will be just as requiring if not more. Oh well...BTW, does Best Buy except returns? -- -Brett Goodbye Greg Moore 1975-1999 "I will see you at the front, and wish me luck..." - Greg Moore

Yah, once I hit my goal for college $$$ than it's off to buy a new PC. Until then, it's this machine... -- -Brett Goodbye Greg Moore 1975-1999 "I will see you at the front, and wish me luck..." - Greg Moore Mike Blackmore <[email hidden]> wrote in article <[email hidden]>... > On 26 Mar 2000 23:46:04 GMT, "Brett" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >I picked it up today hoping for a good game with low graphics.

Your PC is below the minimum spec for the game, could be time to give it a kick before GP3 arrives because that will be the same story maybe worse. Regards Mike
