this machine has an x3100 onboard and i can run it in a window at 1280x800 but its quite choppy. certainly not fast enough to race. fine for practice i guess.

if your serious about doing vrc as a training tool, consider saving up some money to buy/build a desktop pc with a add in graphics card to play. dont need a high end cpu, messtons of ram or anything, just fast graphics.

im running it on;

Core 2 Duo e6750 "stock clock cause my mainboard blew up and cant oc on replacement"
4gb kingston value ram
Radeon 5850 1gb
C300 64 GB ssd.

you could probably get a desktop off a usedeverywhere/craigslist site and just throw a $150-$200 gpu in it.

id spend my money on a monitor. monitor always better investment than fast innards.


as for your missing cars, i have heard that trial members weren't able to keep things they bought with veuro for whatever reason. iv'e let my sub lapse and not lost any content. you really need to contact virtual racing tech support. i doubt anyone here will be helpful on this topic.
I do have like a 10 year old desktop..... Extreme computer makeover
