Do you have some sort of 3dfx card installed on your system? If not, forget it or buy one (e.g.: "Diamond Monster 3D")!!! > Please respond. > -- > Manfred Hollstein If you have any questions about GNU software: > 75446 Wiernsheim, FRG <http://www.s-direktnet.de/HomePages/manfred/> > PGP key: <http://www.s-direktnet.de/HomePages/manfred/manfred.asc> -- J.H.

no it doesn't ! 27 meg. d/l and it dont even try to run on my system : AMD k5/166 , QDI m/b, 32 meg edo. double-click f1_rs.exe and ......nothing. I borrowed an Intel P90 and tried to run it, guess what, no problem, it started & ran ok (quite slowly though). This amd k5/166 is going and i'm buying intel. Is it lazy programming or AMD incompatibility ? Do I care which ? It just doesn't run.

Runs Awesome on my Friends machine. K6200 40megs TX97 Mother Runs better on his that mine. 200mmx 64megs IT5H mother Sounds like your just having configuration problems. The K6 is an awsome CPU. It also runs GLQuake just as good as mine. We both got a 3DFX.
