I want to know if there is any issue concerning the use of ; Motherboard with VIA chipset specially in combination with GPL, N3, F1rs2. Thanks Andre

Running GPL just fine on a Abit KA7 (VIA based). I'd be VERY surprised if any application/game gave you grief because of the chipset, it's more likely drivers that will have problems. Cheers, Steve.

And what about ATHlon for GPL and F1rs2, N3 ? Andre

I just got gpl working on my brand new P3/800, with Geforce ddr, and Via694 chipset not a problem at all...... Except for me thinking i had lost all my setups agter transfering the game from my oldt to my new comp, overwriting the installation......turns out i still had trainers selected....lolololol....not funny took me about an hour......

>>And what about ATHlon for GPL and F1rs2, N3 ?<< I think that compatibility issues are more or less a thing of the past - they were rare back in the Pentium clone days, and even rarer now. I can state you'll have no problems running GPL with an Athlon, as I do it. I'd be very surprised if any of the other games you mention would not work either. Cheers, Steve.
