Well, seeing as we can only run tests in N4 and we don't know if the
NH patch that is supposed to be released one of these days is going to
be good or not. I'm still not decided on which is going to be my
choice for Nascar racing. So far I like the look and feel of the cars
in NH better. But, it falls short in other areas. N4 feels a little
too squirrelly to me and I don't like the***pit view either. But, it
is alpha so will have to wait to see if this is improved or not.
Because the V3 becomes a bottleneck on that speed of processor. Vid
cards scale with the cpu (some better than others). To take full
advantage of that speed of cpu he should be using a V5 or Geforce2.
One last point, N3 was never released in the UK and as N4 is unlikely to be
its all become quite academic.

Alan

Since both Nvidia and 3dfx have new parts on the drawing board...perhaps
*** on to the V3 makes sense...no reason to buy an interim card now and
then have to turn around early next year and cough up bucks for another
card.

Depends on your cashflow. There is *always* something better just
around the corner.
Why? Every game I own works great on Win98 so why is ME better for
***?

Despite the fact that microsoft make more money from the 'home' industry
it's suprising that Windows tends to default more towards business use.
I think there is still a strange snobery about computers being serious use
objects.
HaHa, what a joke!
