Just wanted to hear opinions on how Indycar will run on a 486DX2-66 and if there is anything you can do to speed it up other than cut out graphics. I usually race 4-5 cars and cut out the trackside object but noticed it can still be a little choppy at times.....great sim though.
I play Indycar on a 486 SX-33 and have no problems at all with frame rate, or graphics quality, thus I'm sure that it'll be fine on a 486DX2-66.

If you've got 8 Mb or more you can do well with an 33DX. Infact whatever PC you use 8Mb or more RAM will help tremendously, and don't forget that a fast videocard is really crucial to get the most out the sim... -- Terje Wold Johansen "I am your inferior superior." -- -- Dept. of Informatics -- -- University of Oslo, Norway --

I run it on my dx2-66 with 8mb ram and a Diamond Stealth 64 VLB video card and it runs real smooth even with all (most?) of the opponent cars enabled. Do you have 8mb or more memory and VLB?

I have mostly raced against full fields, and I only have trouble at Indianapolis. I run all detail on at every track except Indy, where I run auto - and it turns a fair amount of stuff off. I also have a P90 at work, and it runs Indy with everything. -- Brian Wong Product Marketing Engineering
