I would agree that you do not need a P6 to run the game in an attractive manner. It is awesome on the 133, with some adjustments. It is also, beyond belief on the P6/200 as well...hehehehe JEB in Vegas

Just got my copy yesterday and fired it up on my P5-166 Set it up for SVGA FULL DETAIL and got a clean 17fps which was simply great. The fps gets even faster when there are less cars on the screen ( a good incentive to stay in 1st place) All of the reports about how bad this game peforms had me scared but after playing it firsthand I can testify that this game KICKS ASS if you have the horses to play it. My only complaint (and its a minor point) is the inability to downshift while accelerating. This is going to take some getting used to and probably***me up for NASCAR, ICR2 and NFS. Aside from this (personal) issue the game is the best driving sim I've ever played and ICR2 and NASCAR may be getting zipped up for awhile. So DON'T fall for the bad press you've been reading. GET THIS GAME!!

Have to agree with you there. I wasn't expecting much from my P133 after I read some of the comments here. Granted, I can't have *all* the textures on, but I have it on full detail, and only about 4 textures off, and it looks simply *incredible* and it plays as smoothly and quickly as I would like it to (on almost all the tracks). The game simply does *not* need a P-600 to look fantastic, as so many here have suggested.

My only complaint (and its a minor point) is the inability to downshift while You can use the left Alt key for downshift instead of the space-brake way -- much better! Did you never play the prequel? I'd say most purist keyboarders do this too, am I right? Jim
