GP2 on 486-33 ??

Anybody out there tried running GP2 on a 33 MHz 486 machine? I have one with 8 MB of RAM, and would like to know if I could run GP2 in VGA mode. I'm sure that SVGA would be totally unplayable, but how about VGA mode, with some of the details off? Thanks in advance, Gary.

You could do it Gary, but don't punish yourself!!! I have a dx2-50 with 8meg and I can practise tracks with about 200% occupancy. No oposition cars with vga and EVERYTHING turned off gives you playable, but not much else. Something I have noticed is that I can do better laps on my machine than I can with a faster PC with the exact setup, driving method etc. I think it's because I have ** A LOT ** more time to react.

AMD 5X-133's are going for around $50; sounds like a reasonable upgrade to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob Bruss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi, I have a Dx-2 66 ,when i turn off all details and use 15fra/sec i have a 56% occupancy when i fallow a car not too close( textures on cars are not too big) and a 103% when i fallow cars very close( big textures). So i think it would be difficult to play with a dx33 :(. -- * Magic_Fr - stixier - Sebastien Tixier * * url : http://www.ens-lyon.fr/~stixier *
