Speed is slow in NFSPU

I use PIII733 + voodoo2000 + 196MB RAM + Act Lab Force RS.  I already choose
medium detail and 640x480 resolution.  However, the driving speed is still
quite slow on the screen (I feel scary fast when I drive RC2000).  Is that
because of my video card? or else?

Thanks.

Probably not your machine. If you are talking about low framerates, I also
get that on the start of Normandie and Schwartswald. (on a P3-600, G400,
256Mb). If you are talking about low sensation of speed, try in-car with
wide-screen enabled. That improved it for me.

detail. Make sure you are running the game in wide screen (already
mentioned). This makes a big difference.

Remember that the cars you are driving, at least in the beginning, are
quite slow, so dont expect a great sensation of speed. It is nothing
like the sensation you get in RC2000. (I'm not saying this is good or
bad)

Have fun ;)

Not only that, but unless you changed the option, the speedometer
reads in kilometers per hour.  If it says '120', you're actually going
about 70 mph in the older cars.

Try running the 3d card setup.  Maybe you're running in software mode right
now.

I find that the biggest problem is that the roads are too wide. The
narrow roads of RC2000 give a great impression of speed. Driving down a
runway wouldn't.
