DTR2 and other new stuff...

I had a $100 credit to burn up at CompUSA today, so I picked up the
following:

1.  DVI to VGA Adapter ($25).  Figured I might as well use that extra port
on the Ti4400 and nView, along with the spare monitor I had lying around.
Pretty cool :)  I don't really know how this affects 3D *** though (i.e.
how much of an on-board RAM hit do I take?).

2.  Dirt Track Racing 2.  Works well under XP.  No issues with Daemon Tools
3.17.  Typical RatBag graphics, but they are GOOD RatBag graphics and the
frame rates are obviously through the roof.

3.  Unreal Tournament 2003.  I've never been good at these sorts of games,
but it's nice to have something different for a change.  The graphics are
awesome.  I can run everything totally maxed-out at 1600X1200 32-bit and I
can't detect any slowness or sluggishness whatsoever.  I need to learn how
to do the benchmark so I can see what I'm outputting.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is Daemon-Tools hostile.  They have changed the copy
protection and have either tagged DT or it uses something new.  I'm sure the
guy will have an update soon to take care of it :)

have.

The demo had a Benchmark folder with many BAT files you can run, or run
the System/Benchmark.exe file.  Check the Benchmark folder for logs on
your FPS.
