Yeah..but you won't be able to run all the graphics detail...if you can live with that...then it's worth getting. BUT...you sure do need RAM...8 is too little...and it's very inexpensive at the moment if you can spare the cash. Somebody else can correct me if I'm wrong. rgs John

Hello all, Is it realistic to put GP2 on a 486DX4-100, 8Mo, video: S3 2MO ??? Can you please reply here or at Thanks in advance. laurent

It plays on my dx2-66 with 8MB. Notice that I don't say it "flies" :-) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The most civilized civilizations are as close to barba- rism as polished iron is to rust. Rivarol =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Hi I have much the same computer except with a ET4000W32p graphics card which I believe will be quicker than yours in DOS (but by how much?!) so can't say for sure that you will get the same sort of performance. However, that said! I use SVGA mode (don't like the VGA mode, like Need for Speed I can't see far enough in the distance in VGA) with 12 fps (which is OK but would like more) and the following details on - forward kerbs, verges - mirror track, kerb. I find it more than playable on a DX4/100 but obviously more CPU power would be better. Al

I have a dx2-66 and it works real good with all detail off except smoke(it does go slow then) but other than that a some tracks I get 86-90 processor ocupancy
