Hi all, (P200 owners can start s***ing now) I've just bought GP2 which I'm running on a 486DX2 66, I can get 11fps in SVGA with pretty much all graphics turned off and in single car practice its fairly playable, racing is a no no because the whole thing is just too slow once the other cars appear, my processor occupancy has been up to 400% :-(( I really don't want to run in vga and I can't afford to upgrade to a pentium, but I can get a PCI motherboard with AMD586 133 at a reasonable price. Is anyone using this processor and if so what sort of SVGA frame rates are you getting? Also what processor occupancies do you get. As a depressing 'benchmark' I turned all graphic details on in SVGA and the system estimates less than 8fps, then just sitting in the pits awaiting a practice lap at Monaco my processor occupancy is 407%. Is the 586 a worthwhile upgrade or do I put the game back in the box for 6 months while I start saving? Thanks in advance. Mark.
