I have a P200 with 64meg Ram and a Sceaming 3d Rendition board and mine runs
perfect and flawless with everything turned up.

Hi,
I wanted to download Grand Prix legends, but i saw that minimum requirements
were a pentium 166.
My question is: I have a Pentium 100 will it run on my computer or not.
Thanx,

Well, I have a P200, and I tried it before I had my Diamon Monster 2 in
software mode...BLECH! It ran like crap, so, unless you have a
Voodoo/Voodoo2/Voodoo Rush, don't bother.

I've got a P166 with a Voodoo2 and while it is "driveable" it does not
respond very well. I hope the final version has a little lower (P133
maybe) minimum requirement. I really can't afford a new mobo right
now. :-(

No.

Hehe, that's because you have a Rendition card, supporting RRedline. RRedline
runs very well on lower spec 'puters, so I guess you have the smoothest GPL
running for the smallest amount of money! Lucky you... Not only does it run
well, it looks well, too! So for all you lower end 'puter owners, Rendition
cards are the only cards that will enable you to play decent GPL...

Without being rude, Richard, if the minimum is stated as being a P166
then it is unlikely that whatever ( if ever) runs on your P100 will be
usable.

The 3Dfx-accelerator
(Monster 3D) arrived a day later. When I tried GPL without 3Dfx, it was
(despite of the processor) slow, even in low resolution (640X480).
The day after, with 3Dfx, it ran very smooth, even in high resolution
(800X600).
So, I think GPL will run on CPU's slower than 300 MHz, too but you will
need a 3Dfx accelerator in any case

It won't run, but it might crawl.

Same here but with a Creative Labs Voodoo2 instead. Looks a treat and
runs really smoothly in the very highest resolution (1000x800 or
something similar). In fact it looks not unlike a film a lot of the
time.

... or a Rendition card ... GPL demo is much prettier on my V1000 card than
on my Voodoo1 ... and frame rate looks to be the same, ie. no slowdowns w/
everything on.

What's the price difference between a V2x00 card and your Voodoo2 ..? $150
...?

Me too, K6 200(clocked to 225) 64Mb SDram and 4Mb 3Dfx (v1) card and it
flies along nicely with *all* details on, very smooth.
If you have a 200MHz cpu and *any* program runs slowly, sort your pc
out!!! get it optimised, get it configured properly, and give us a
break!!!
Sure it may slow down a tad when the full sim is released and we have
more scenery, more cars, etc, but I'm very happy with GPL, long live
GPL, VIVA GPL!!!!!

It will if you have a Rendition card. At least, it did on my P100
(which I had for about a month before getting this K6 300, but hey,
the P100 entire system only cost me $25, and I'm still using its
hard drive, so I got somethin' out of it). Turn off most of the
details, and it'll run pretty good. My lap times went down after
installing the 300, because it ran more smoothly, but the demo was
still decent and fun on the P100. It DID, however, tend to just
cut back to Windows suddenly, particularly in bad accidents (I guess
it just tried to use too much processor that wasn't there).
Of course, the final version of the game won't work with a P100,
since putting other cars on the track will undoubtedly suck up a
heck of a lot of power.
