@softgoat It might take a few times alternating between Linux and Windows if it does work.

@softgoat What you're supposed to do in Regedit is to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\, and create RealTimeIsUniversal as a DWORD value, then double click it and set it to 1.

Something that could play games at 720p@30fps is basically a new just-above-basic laptop nowadays...
My 2014 $800 laptop (4th-gen Intel Core i7 and GeForce GTX 850M) manages many games at 1080p, but most newer games need lower quality settings.

The raceways are probably the least popular tracks in NASCAR... despite being the best ones.

@softgoat Virtua Racing was far, FAR ahead of its time. One of the only arcade games to use spectator machines.
Also any Formula-based game is infinitely better than any stock car-based game because 4 Lefts is inferior.

@softgoat What kinds of video games have you been playing recently, regardless of platform?

@softgoat That... that 670MHz sounds like a current clockspeed, not base clock. PCs have had base clocks of 1GHz+ since, I don't know, 2001?

@softgoat
There's supposed to be a registry key in WIndows that's supposed to help with that, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal . In use, it's had a tendency to not work right throughout the years. Maybe it finally works?
