Question to Intergraph (or anyone who can answer)

I wanted to add a tv-tuner card to my PC, but recently I've bought
Intergraph's reactor 3D card.  Are there any tv-tuner cards that are
compatible with the Reactor?

I've also read a lot of comments about N2 not achieving frame rates as
high as Indycar2 does.  Will I be able to run it smoothly on my P100
without taking out all of the details?

There was talk of this in the video newsgroup, and as far as I remember
most TV tuners worked fine with the Reactor.  Nascar2 will not run
nearly as well as ICR2, especially in light of your DMA troubles.  Full
detail on a P100 is probably asking too much.

Not sure on this one.

You should notice a considerable improvement with the reactor on your
P100 running N2 versus N1. Just make sure you run the rendition
version (dma version is the best). IMO, N2 rendition does not perform
as well as the ICR2 rendition and I'm hoping some work is being done
with a patch to further enhance N2 rendition. On my P100 with 32meg
and the reactor, I run n2 renddma with everything on except clouds on
auto but limit cars drawn to around 10 in front and 2 behind and seem
to average over 20fps. More cars drawn, especially ahead, really slows
things down for me. Much more than ICR2 with the reactor.

YES... I have a Hauppauge TV board and "when" I had a Reactor 3D
board.. I'm sorry.... now the Intense 3D board<grin>.. it work fine
with my TV card.
