NFS & SVGA - CPU req'd???

Hi, does NFS require detection of a Pentium CPU to run in SVGA mode? I'm thinking of getting an AMD dx4-120 or a Cyrix 5x86-120, and would like to play NFS in SVGA. When I tried the demo on a computer using an AMD dx4-100 it refused to load in SVGA. Any ideas? Please e-mail. Daniel.

i dont think theres a svga on the demo

: I'm thinking of getting an AMD dx4-120 or a Cyrix 5x86-120, and would I play it in SVGA on a DX4/120, with a 2MB Cirrus 5440 SVGA card. This setup won't let me play FULL detail (or not at a reasonable frame rate at least). There is an option that automatically (and dynamically?) adjusts the detail to match your hardware, and I tend to use this. Most of the time I seem to be about 1 notch down from FULL svga, and I don't usually get the horizon. Other than that, its very playable. However, I think I'd have been better off opting for a P1xx.

The F2 function key changes the detail mode. There are 6 setting I believe, High, Low, Interlaced, Low Auto, High Auto and something else, this may be your problem... -- U mAy SToP mE... bUT U CaN't sToP uS aLL..!

I have a DX4-120 that runs NFS in 640x480 with everything on high (or far) and it runs wonderful!!! 1024x768 will require a P6 or something from NASA to run well. Jive
