NFS 3 & Voodoo2

I just installed a Voodoo 2 card to replace my Voodoo (1) card.  I
remember reading (here, I think) that a Voodoo 2 card was required to
display the dashboard in NFS 3.

I've re-installed NFS 3, and I still don't see a dashboard.  Unless
that's what the call the tach and speedometer next to the rearview
mirror.  Am I missing something?

Any help is appreciated.

The story I always heard was that you needed 12mb Voodoo2 card.  

I'm not sure if that's the problem or not.  You also have to tinker with the
settings in the game to view the dashboard.  Its an "option" in one of the
menus.

In one of the option screens you need to turn off the wide screen option .
Ididn't see the dash at first with my 12 meg SLI set up and I was pissed untill
somebody posted that you need to have the wide screen option turned off.
 Now if EA could just put the tracks of NFS SE together with the graphics of
NFSIII they would have the best racing game ever produced.
