Dave: CPU demands depend on the type of game...simulations are quite CPU intensive, esp. flight simulations, but I think this trait extends to racing simulations as well. Apparently not ;-). I recently bought Grand Prix 3 (arguably the best F1 racing sim, released sometime last year) and I can run it absolutely perfectly with all options enabled on my home computer: 700MHz Athlon Classic + GeForce256 DDR. I was actually rather disappointed by that - I had certainly expected it to task my system more. I should note that the in-game CPU monitor does spike to 100% at times, so the "perfect" may be somewhat exaggerated ;-) -fyo
