OK, I'm at work at the moment, so I haven't been able to try this game out on my own machine. Here is the spec of my work PC. SE440BX-2 Motherboard, 128MB RAM, Matrox G400 32mb Non-Max, Yamaha On-Board Souncard.

I'm at work at the moment, so I haven't been able to try this game out on my own machine.
Here is the spec of my work PC.
SE440BX-2 Motherboard, 128MB RAM, Matrox G400 32mb Non-Max, Yamaha On-Board Souncard.
Running the latest beta G400 drivers (5.11, released yesterday)
Results so far:
Installation - Did Full (320MB) Install, no issues.
Intro - Ran absolutely fine
Graphics Calibration - No issue, ran through each screen test very fast, very smooth.
Quick Race - Don't have time at work to run a proper game with practice/qualifying etc so jumped into the Quick Race option.
Game runs very fast, very smooth with default graphics options on.
I'm not sure what graphics options are not switched on (Didn't even get chance to check the Options page)
Conclusion so far:
This game is going to run very nicely under Win2k.
Matrox (They might not be as quick as the NVidia's, but the drivers seem nice and stable) drivers working fine.
I have a SB Live! at home, so will have to check that later.
Result:
3 lap race, finished 8th, damn Irvine knocked me off the track at the first corner when I'd moved from 6th on the grid to 3rd by first corner.
Next time Irvine, next time!
