I am running an AMD K6-2 400 with a Hercules Thriller 8 meg card and get 30-36 running with 10 cars in 800*600 with detail set 25 % from left and mirror detail to a min. This is about 25-30 % better than I get when I use my Obsidian x-24 card.

I have a K6-2 350 With a stealth s220 and thats what I get with 19 cars and the same graphics settings. With all graphics on and the slider at 50% it varies from 25 to 36 fps and 16 to 18 at the start. With the voodoo II it is about 20% slower. Speedy ........

I Run AMD 350 ALSO Well a 300 o.c..... and was using a S220 and now have a Herc thrilller 8meg AGP...its twice the card in my opinion ran with the V2 but was have a lil trouble with the sound dropping out but that was because GPL doesnt like hardware accelleration for Diamond Monster sound cards...bottom line , run great ,,, less $$$

I'm running gpl with a K6-350 and 64 MB of DRAM. with 19 opponents and 100% detail,I get 30-36 fps after the start. Unfortunately,when running online,it's a whole different story. Joel Willstein
many thanks to all. I'm not so wary now, although I may wait for the K3 - things just never stand still! Martyn --
