Eh I get around 30-40 FPS and about 10 with full grid..
lol

And all the tracks will be modified (physics mainly) so that we can buy a new PC..that's not good.. I would love LFS to have the dual core usage available.. We wouldn't have such problems then...

Er, maybe the only fix is to open the SO DDS files and just resize them?

Well, I don't know whether that works or not. Has anybody tried this?

My 4 years old athlonxp 2000 and radeon x700 also are suffering with me on this - changing options didn't helped at all it just loads more slowly than before.
Time to face the facts guys - nothing is going to help except buying a new pc - i know i won't do it at least for 6 months from now so i have to live with it. Hard but true.

My bro is fine with his athlonxp2000 and his ancient geforce mx400.
And my radeon X800pro and Celeron D 3.33ghz only get 30 fps in south city compared to 130fps on kyoto ring

I just can't believe that you bro has no FPS fall if he uses an old MX400 card...X800 is way better

Well i was able to change that for realy small price and now have athlon x2 64 4200+ plus gf7600gs 2 gigs of ram and i must say comparing to the old pc that it had very nice effect - i remember to race with full grid on so on old pc with about 5 fps starting in middle or back..now it won't go lower than 25 and usually is above 40 and few corners later at 60 and more - Not impressing but playable and on other tracks it's always at 50 minimum and usually something around 100. I don't care i have time instead fps now enabled.

THe mx400 must be a joke..i have it in my other slower pc and it was bearly running old s1...
