I don't know what the problem is for the other people.  I have a 266 Mhz PII w/64 Megs of RAM and a Voodoo 2 12 MB graphics card.  The thing runs great.  The framerates are excellent at 640x480.  If I run it in 1024X768  then it gets choppy if it is raining or snowing.  Nothing new there.  Too  much oversteer on the cars?  I don't think so.  I have slid my real car on  dry pavement and it's about the same.  ('98 Contour ... (0.82 G skidpad)) I  personally think the game kicks some butt.  I think that there is a  hardware compatibility problem for the other people.  You need the most up  to date glide drivers you can get.  Just an opinion. By the way, I have  NFS1,2, and 3, so this is old news for me.  You have to have a proportional  input device for steering or you will do very poor, however, you can use  the keyboard for the accelerator.  (you just have to be more careful,  because it's either on or off)
