I've seen a message in the past about a program that you can easily shut down programs running in the background ....ala Ctr+Alt+Del .........to free up system resources. If anyone has a program or knows of a program please let me know! I have heard all you need running is Explorer and one other. I would like to optimize my aging P200 system so i can get the most out of GPL & F1RS etc... :-)

You could turn off the sun and it wouldn't help, you need a good 3d card minimum. Thriller 8 meg will get you decent frame rates with minimum cars and graphics. To get the full effect in GPL you need a 350-400 cpu. I upgraded and it was worth every penny.

I'm running an MMX P200 and with a few tweaks I'm able to run most textures on with 10 AI at 25-36fps depending on action. What I've done is set a 200mb swapfile. And as far as GPL goes there are many tweaks that can be done, such as sound quality, car shadows, detail bias etc. The way I have GPL is good, but not perfect however. That's why I'm getting a PII-450 when the prices drop next year :-) Cheers! -- Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824
