nope... I have a 486/100 and, it runs awesome in 640/480 and HIGH DETAIL.
the trick? DONT HAVE A SKY, it really slows things down! high detail, VLB 
2meg video card, 2x cdrom, and 486/100.. good mix... It IS NOT choppy at 
these settings... only ocasionaly (big things, like tunnels) will make it 
slow down, and eaven then, is VERRY PLAYABLE! if you have a 486/100 BUY 
THIS GAME!! great game! Only thing that would have ben cooler is a little 
bit of car damage... its realistic an all, when you head on another car at 
150.. thats realistic! but no dents or broken windshield? come on ea...
