I have a Pentium 200 MMX w/32 mb ram.( I may get 64mb soon.) The video card is Diamond Stealth 2000 . I have N2 now. Will N3 work well on this ? If not which do I have to upgrade.TIA

I don't have the utility that allows comparing your lap time with a replay. Where can I get it. Thanks. -Tony-

I ran it with a PII 300 and 128 mb ram and it did NOT run smooth. I upgraded to a PIII 500 and now it rocks... in 640 x 480... but I have the CPU set at 66mhz at the moment because of my old ram.

Yea, i'd have to agree, nut in the meantime you could try a couple of things. For one, since you are going to get a new video card, go ahead. My guess is a V3 2000 for good performance for the dollar. Then you might pop that ram in there but make sure you can take it with you when you get a whole new puter. And of course you could check into overclocking your cpu, if your mobo allows you can crank a 200mmx to as high as 290 but 250-266 is a good #. This might get you by for a while. John Moore

Wow I have a P233 with 64mb ram and a Voodoo 3 2000 and the game runs just fine on my system. The mouse is a bit slow in the menu areas but when I'm racing (All graphics turned on - 39 cars ahead, 12 behind - 81024x768) its smooth as silk........... JN

Just to add to this: K6-233, 64Mb, Diamond Fusion 16. At 800x600x16, 39 car field at Charlotte, 12 ahead 4 behind: with no cars in front of me, 20(23) FPS, with field in front of me (those 12 cars) 10(11). I think everyone should be required to give FPS along with opinions on how smooth the game is. I know my performance (above) is satisfactory for me. For some hardcore simmers it means UPGRADE!. After hearing how PIII 500Mhz beasts are still getting unsatisfactory performance, it scares us little fish.

I went from a tweaked to the gills v2 p200mmx with 96mb ram to a p3 500 tnt2 ultra v2 128mb system. I could run n3 on my 200mmx with very little on, a tight as hell car and not so good frame rates. it was very frustrating and I bought the new puter. Now it runs smooth as hell with everything on including f2 enter, that's a big + for me. I like to know if I should run hard as hell with cars around me. a 200 is getting old, I had mine about 3 1/2 years and it wouldn't keep up anymore. save the money and look at p3 500 or so, 550 and 600 are still more expensive. a 500 will rock with the right vid cards for a long time Zolli <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7tonsg$jq9$[email hidden]...

Forget the PIII 500. Get a Kryotech 1000 mhz Athlon. Then you'll be ready for N4 and Win2000. http://www.honeydijon.com/123123.html In article <[email hidden]>, me <[email hidden]> wrote: > Thanks for all of the answers, I wish I had money! > > MN-male wrote: > > > I went from a tweaked to the gills v2 p200mmx with 96mb ram to a p3500 tnt2 > > ultra v2 128mb system.
