I have an HP PC with a PII-333 Processor, 64 MB RAM, and an ATI Rage Pro AGP2X Video Card with 8MB SDRAM. I've been playing Grand Prix Legends for about a week. I chose the software option during the game video setup. The frames per second performance is around 10 to 11. Is there a way to set up the computer, video card or game to provide better performance? I also got a message during setup that my Active movie version being newer than the one for GPL. What's that about? Thanks Bruce Bubeck

You'll need a video accelerator such has a VooDoo2 3dfx. Your frame rate will go much higher and you'll enjoy your game much more...

for your cpu speed a hercules thriller 8 meg would give you great performance, papy sims are optimized for the rendition chip. If you also play other games that need 3dfx support then get a 3dfx card. JM

Considering you've already got an AGP2x card, pick up a Voodoo 2. Your frame rate will double (at least). And the V2 will wind up being useful elsewhere. Forget the active movie thing. Newer is good, in this case.
