After playing GP2 for several hours on a friends K6/200 machine, I am much more impressed with the game than ever before. It was simply amazing. We still couldn't run with the sky graphics turned on, but everything else including mirrors runs flawlessly. Of course, when you spin the smoke slows things down temporarily. A brief overclocking excursion to 233MHz yielded the sky as well. Just thought I'd let you guys (and gals) know. Clark PS. I do work for AMD, so take this as you will....

I have just bought a new MB ASUS TX 97 with 32 MB SDRAM and a Pentium 166 MMX overclocked to 225 MHz (75 x 3). Now I looked at GP2 as a complete new game. It runs with everything on also sky and selected 15 fps with processor occupancy always smaller than 100% (most times between 70% and 90% also with much traffic and in replays). For some people 15 fps is not enough but for me it's alright and I love the graphics. Karsten
