A 400 will run GPL at full speed with all graphics and all ai cars. As for
video card, the riva tnt has huge potential but should be avoided until
someone gets the drivers/support issue straightened out. The 3dfx or banshee
route is good because of the wide support in many apps. The best imo card is
the thriller 8meg pci, keep in mind that papy writes their sims for the
rendition chip and a single 8 meg thriller outperforms sli voodoo 12's.
