@Someone7089 All depends on a Voodoo 5 AGP or PCI, Agp ver. will not work on most P4 mobo because Voodoo 5 is 2x agp, you may found a P4 with a Via chip set that still may support AGP 2x . I play older type games only Voodoo 5 has 64 mbs of ram so playing games from 2004-up would need more gpu power and video memory unless you like playing games at 640x400 jaged city.
A 3dfx Voodoo 2-3-4-5 will work or NvidiaTNT2 or Diamond Viper v770
Nvidia GeForce 2 family
3dfx Bandgee
Matrox G200
Some of the better video cards you will need more processering power like a P2 400-up Amd 400-up too get full 1024x800 res. that is playable.
Make sure you are running your desktop res at 800x640 16 bit not 32 bit also install Direct X 7-8 and Internet Explorer.5.5 or 6.0 I would install more ram make it 2 x 64 =128 mgbs.
With the spec you have right now a I suggust a Voodoo 2-3, 3dfx Bangee , Nvidia TNT video cards and Matrox G200 those are a several things you can try.
me again lol, by the way how do you manage to turn off the music in the background on track and in the game menu?, I know you like have to go options but for some reason if i turn the music noise up or down it stays the same volume, Because i am running it on a modern operating system windows XP would that have something to do with it?, and even when like i leave the game running and like go on my desktop the music still plays from the game. Any idea how to fix that?
On my win XP system the game music won't play, the songs are there in options when i do the music test but nothing works. The game supports older sound cards only not the 5.1----7.1 sound systems of todays mobos.
I managed to install this on my laptop with windows xp!!! lol!! just had to install microsoft DOS and all that shit man, thannks for everything and i subed!!. Oh and by the way the nissan r390 is shit lol!! best car dodge viper gts-r. But that aint the point cool video and thanks for the advice!!
I had no problems loading the game on my internet computer running Win XP pro Sp3 Ati X500 videocard. Had to ajust the video card a little bet ----gamma & Anti Aliasing 4x the game runs on directx 3d on the newer video cards.--- not 3dfx glide
is there anything inparticular in the xp system that i would need to get, before installing the game? like a new graphic card or sumin?, you probably wouldnt know the answer to this but do you reckon this would be compatible with the new windows 7?, but thank you very much i appreciate the advice.
I never thought of installing the game on XP. I'm running most of the older games on Win 98 with a 3dfx voodoo 2 sli or 5 5500 Not sure where you can download Test drive 5 I have the original disk. I will try to install the game on my P4 3.4EE computer - win XP and see if the plays and get back to you.
in 1999 when i was 5 i always used to play this game day and nite but i rememba my dad binned that computer it was all on. is there anywhere where i can download this exact version of the game. is it compatible with windows xp?
What games could this card play with say a Pentium 4 3 GHz and 2 GB DDR 400 memory?

Sorry for bad words.
I have also an American.
I choose the single race, and choose my car and the track.
Then comes the image of the race before that, and then the screen turns black, and quit, the Game.: (
