I have an AMD 486 133 which I overclock to 160, with a Diamond Stealth
2meg dram, my question is which video card should I get to get a better
frame rate on Nascar2, and will it work with my existing video card?
Thanks in advance,

Stick with the card you have, and start saving for a Pentium. The
change to a new card (coupled with the fact you have a 486) will
only produce a slight improvement - money best spent elsewhere
IMHO. The Diamond may not be the greatest, but it's still a very
good card to have.
Chips are cheap nowadays...a P150 would be around $120, and
can easily be overclocked to 200. Just a few more items and you'll
have a real hotrod.
Cheers!

Hi Joe,
While the Diamond 2Mb card isn't one of the front-runners in the
video dept., it's no slouch either. For you, the comparison was
with a Trident 1Mb card (a slouch) and that of a souped-up (and
very expensive) 8Mb card.
My advice to him was to save for the faster CPU, which IMO
would be more beneficial; especially when you consider the
current prices of CPU's and M-boards.
Cheers!
