I used to play this a few years back. It is fun but also challenging. The engine noise gets really obnoxious pretty quick and circles are boring too. It's neat that it is RC but as a racing game it just doesn't compare.

ML, I found it on my comp....but it kept on popping up random things that said stuff about it not being able to run. They kept on coming and coming, so I shut down my laptop. Oh well..

if you want something reliable you are looking around 100-130.
my family's laptop now has all the bells and whistles.
but ATI programs and cards ect are a important part if iam not wrong? it just doesn't have to be ATI though.

ATI and nVidia are just like Intel and AMD they both have their own strengths and weaknesses and it all comes down to personal preference. Personally, I am a nVidia guy. Its what I've always had, never had an issue with and generally they look to be more compatible and run smoother. Right now I have a GeForce 8400GS with 512mb onboard memory. It is a fairly good card and will run almost anything out there. But, just because you have a good card doesn't mean you aren't creating a bottleneck. What I mean by this is a great video card that's performance is being hindered by low amounts of RAM or a slow CPU. So do you homework before buying a card and who knows it may just be your computer.

ATI is pretty nice, on nvidia do you have the control panel where you can adjust how your graphics work to make them more better quality ect..? and this laptop runs a ADM athlon 64X2. with a dual-core processor TK-53, 796 MHz, 896 MB of ram. but this computer was sold to us for gaming. We have all of the best ATI setups ect...
the laptop is a Dell inspiron 1501, bought for 500$

All the bells and whistles? My cousins Laptop has so much crap in it its unbelievable. It is super quick, has like a 300 dollar graphics card, sound card, etc. Its made for gaming. It freaking insane on how smooth and how great of a picture it has. Its pretty much custom built from scratch. Bryce Ive seen your laptop, its not that well for gaming it seems.

All those posts were worthless. And yes, nVidia has a control panel for all those settings plus overclock programs made by nVidia. By the way a 700-some mhz processor 64 X2 or not isn't going to get you very far. I have a 2.6ghz AMD Athlon 64 X2 and 2gb of ram. That laptop is in no means made for gaming. It sounds to me like it is just a general laptop. I'm sure it doesn't have an issue playing VRC but it cannot be classified as a gaming pc.

I'll do one too seeing you are. I guess I'm overclocked to 2.48 instead of 2.59 thats okay, I could go to it if I wanted but I won't.


And my LFS one.
