GPL also will use none of the 3D capabilities, and will run just "ok" even with that 400. To properly run GPL, you need either a Voodoo or Rendition based 3D accelerator. Probably the best setup would be to add a Voodoo 2 card ($200+) - it'll work alongside the TNT, and you'll have the best of everything. Ken
I don't know about GPL, but GP2 relies exclusively on the CPU for frame rate. You won't have any problem with SVGA mode racing on GP2 on your PII 400.
