    I intend to use a separate PC for X-sim and run iracing of my normal PC as per the user guide.

    My questions are :
    1. Will X-sim run sucessfully on an old 3 Ghz P4 running XP when networked to my Gaming PC running W7 ? Or, am I going to need a more upto date PC to run X-sim.

    2. Would I better off using a isolated core on my 4 core i5 Gaming PC. As I understand iracing only uses 2 cores?

    Thanks in advance.

    Gday Bruce,

    I run me game pc AM3 x6, and use an old 1.7ghz laptop wirelessly connected to network and havent had any issues since installed nearly 3 years ago, a wired connection might be better but didnt notice a difference when i connected it that way. x6 runs win7 x64 and laptop is win7 x32. no issues.
