GPL looks like a mighty great sim that I desperately want, but I'm not
sure it'll run worth a darn on my system:

AMD-K6/233
64MB RAM
Win95/DX5
Viper V330 (Riva 128)

I know I can't run the Glide or Rendition graphics.  How good/fast is
the software rendering?  Does the OpenGL patch work well with the Riva
128?

In short, can I get playable detail levels at playable framerates on
this setup?

Thanks for info,

in or the expensive toys they didn't get.
