RC2000 vs CMR

Can anyone who has both these games (Collin McRae and Rally Champ. 2000) provide a comparison of their pro's and con's??? I've got CMR, and am wondering what I would gain from buying RC2000.... From what i've heard the physics suck, and you can't slide the car sideways, but how are the tracks? How many are there, how accurate are they? And... How will it run on a PII - 266 w/128 meg of RAM and a TNT 16meg (Regular TNT 1) board + VII 12 Meg video? Thanks for the input! JJ

RC2000: The tracks & graphics are absolutly drop dead gorgeous, in terms of graphics the product is a master piece! BUT...the physics is shot <sigh> CMR : The physics are very good, but the graphics are ***i.e sickly colours and (too) short field-depth ( IMHO) . PH

The tracks are quite realistic but some things ruin it. They put objects on the track like rocks. In real life the track would be free of those things. Now you have to drive around them and if you hit them your care will stop in 0.00001 seconds. Unrealistic. Magnetic fields(the developers) say this is to improve gameplay... Sjoerd
