Apparently they are supposed to have Nascar using one of the accelerated
graphics boards so you won't need a P6.  You might ask about that.

With all this talk about what's needed to play NASCAR and Indycar 2.0
in SVGA with all details on, Rick at Papyrus answered this question
for me.

I asked if NASCAR and Indycar 2.0 for Win95 were going to be
32-bit software so that the P6 would be a big help in an almost
impossible attempt to get a full field of 38 cars with all details
turned on. He said...

So is anyone crazy enough to sell one of their children and buy a
P6 system motherboard and CPU just for a couple of games??
I know I am! (I don't think I'll have to sell my kid though.:^)
