I had just purchsed GP2 today and ran it on my custome built Pentium 90
with 16MB of EDO ram and an ATI Mach64 with 2MB VRAM. Initially I wanted to
upgrade to a P166 because I had some doubts about running it in svga after
hearing so many people having slow frame rates even with a P133 but after
fooling around with the detail settings I was satisfied with running it at
15 fps with medium detail and only sky and banks turned off. I also limited
the mirror details to track, curb, and verges. With this setting, all the
tracks including Monaco was quite playable even with the processor
occupancy at 120-160%. I was very surprised at how nice it ran at Monaco
without changing the detail setting. 15 fps might sound low for some people
but believe me it's definitely playable. I also tried it on my friend's
Dell P90 with 16MB and 2MB VRAM and had similar results. So for the people
worring about slow frame rates, my advice to you is to go buy the game
because of your love for racing and not be deterred simply becaue you can't
run it at 30 fps with all details on. Everyone is got a different setup so
just because it runs too slow on their machine doesn't necessarily mean
that it will run just as slow on yours. I am truely satisfied with the
game, its definitely worth the wait. Way to go Jeoff Grammond!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the endless hours of fun with this game, you'll love it.
Yeah go for it & at 30 pounds its a bargain
