go to the files section of this site  http://gpl.gamestats.com/ and at the
bottom of the page get the patch. also on a 233 you will have to turn a lot
of graphics off to get 25 fps, to get max fps (36) with almost all graphics
and a full field of cars you will need a 350mhz cpu. I built an overclocked
300a celeron to run at 374-450 just for GPL and it was worth every penny,
unfreaking believable.
