xp 2500 athlon @ 2.23ghz (cant remember if this is clocked or not?)
1gig ram
ATI Radeon 9700 pro from ebay @ £40 ish deliverd (never clocked this)
twin 15" sharp lcds can only do 1024 x 768 screen res each so the frame rate is still quite high, i do have all the GFX options on full in game and the card is running 4x AA and 8x AF
a full grid can see the frame rate drop to around 25fps but after turn one it tends to go back up to around 60/70, hot lapping by myself is around 100fps
you do get a bit of a frame rate drop when stretching the image over both lcd`s 2048 x 768 screen res i think?
i do all my league racing with one monitor only and save the twin monitor stuff for messing about, the corner apex tends to jump from one monitor to the other where the monitor bezel gets in the way, and it can get confusing, 3 monitors would probably be a better bet
i do stop a lot of crap running before playinmg online, msn messenger and stuff really seams to hit the FPS rate on my machine

Nice! No idea on athlon vs Pentium speed comparisons but mine is a P4 2.4 with 1.5gb ram and 9800pro video card so should play the same as yours I guess. Got a 19" widescreen monitor so hope they do a res that will fill the screen which goes to 1440x900.
Also are there plenty of setup configs for the df pro on the forums for different cars as i'm hopeless at trying to work those out!?

) that SM has above but never seem to find the time to set it all up.
Edit: Ooops 1 minute too late.

last night i had a bit of "grief"
in that when powering down to change my router, the main hard disc failed, which meant i lost quite a bit of stuff, inlcuding all my windows and LFS stuff
it has taken me approx 25 mins to set LFS back up again, although i have lost all my setups for the cars
i have downloaded the current World record setups and im starting to change them back to how i like them for my style
it took me about 15 mins to set the DFP up
you need the logitech "wingman" program, download the version for the logitech MOMO steering wheel
then goto control panel/controllers and click on the wheel (plug it in)
make sure its in 900 degree mode "select + R3 + the right paddle"
and then what i do is click all the boxes and put the sliders all on max
ingame in LFS i run forcefeedback on max stregnth as i like the heavy steering, wheel turn compensation on full and the other slider on full
then its simply the case of assigning the pedals and your dfp buttons
the pedal axis needs to be on "combined"

From what i have read regarding realism forza 2 will now offer ,as well as full crash damage that the first game had, crash damage that affects the vehicles driving characteristics. if its damaged in a serious shunt..its race over.i found you could get the **** end out no probs on the first microsoft game..in fact with driving aids off the things locked up and flew into 360s on bends if you were going hell for leather.
gran turismo 5 looks very cool and i DO doubt that when its running it will be as pretty as that released footage. i have seen footage of gt4 when that was in hype mode and it looked bugger all like its released final version.
my money is on forza 2. the cars felt a lot more individual in Forza over the cars in GT which had a majority of cars that sound NOTHING like real life vehicles they emulated.(for comparison listen the the vipers in both games..forzas is BANG ON and gt's sounds like a wheezing 2.0)
To me vehicles sounding JUST like their real life version is half the experience of a good driving game and gt has always let me down in that respect.
