Nas2 Demo on AMD 5x86

After DL'ing the demo the 'read me' file says minimum req Pentium /16 Meg Ram. I have the 16 Megs of Ram but no Pentium. Trying the program anyway with my AMD 5x86 133 the demo crashes at the "drive" selection with a "Dos4GW error message". Is there a workaround (or other cause)or will it not run on the AMD CPU? Anyone running the Nas2 Demo with an AMD 5x86 133? Any help appreciated... Thanks AKH

I too have an AMD133 w/16mb RAM and I'm not gonna d'load the demo until I know fer sure if I can indeed run it. Looks like we might have to wait until the thing ships before we can join in...oh well, by then it'll be better anyway... cw

I tried it too.... Yeah. I know. It says "Pentium required" and I thought it might have been that way so you'd have enough speed to run it. Since we (AMD133 users) know that the AMD133 blows the doors off the P60, I tried it. Mine crashes and does a code-dump to the screen. Consistent. Same place. It looks like the program is using at least some Pentium specific code. I do hope they will make the final version run on a 486 - as some of the 5x86 models are running 160 mhz now. Certainly enough horsepower.

I'm running a AMD486-133 with 16mb of ram. I can get into the garage, and everything. However, when i click on "race" to start driving, the game locks up. I took a chance on getting around the Pentium requirement. Didn't work. Oh well, I'll wait till November. CYA in HAWAII Jimmy Kehoe JMK3rd

My AMD133 crashes too with a DOS4GW error. Probably the whole game will work better.
