I have a P2/333 64mb Monster3D2 12mb and get 36fps online.

Turn off all mirror textures, dynamic lighting and spectacular highlights.
Turn off dust, dirt and skid marks.

Set detail to 0% (all the way to the *left*)

I use 800x600 (no increase in 640x480 with the V2).
Mirrors to cars only
Trackside objects to ALL.

Works for me,
Jason
