I have a 300 mhz AMD -K6 with 3DNow!/ 64MB RAM / Diamond Monster II 12 MB Video Card What will this do to my GPL game? Improve it? When I race now I see that more options are fogged out like Anti Aliasing...only in the rear view mirror though. With everything else on I consistantly get 30 - 35 FPS online....varies at different tracks. Would it help? Hurt it? I am curious. Thanks in advance, Ryan P Murray

Most people are using the 2.53 version to eliminate problems with GPL and directx6 and 6.1, like the video freezing up, and other strange things related to the video. I suffered from the freezing nightmare and used the 2.53 version to alleviate it, but since discovered that this was a heat related problem. I stuck a fan on my Monster2 and now have no problems. I now use directx6.1 and overclock the card to 95. If you are using a later version like 2.54 and have no problems then 2.53 will not change anything. Vintook
