Nascar2 is about the only computer game I play regularly. Should I but a
Voodoo or a Voodoo2 #D card? I have a 233MHz Pentium MMX with 32 Meg RAM.
Thanks.

Suggestions:
Rendition V1000 (original chip) - Screamin' 3D (sold under Sierra name,
mf'd. for them by Canopus). I put one in a buddy's system a couple
months ago, got it for $59.
Rendition V2100 (2nd gen.) - Diamond Stealth II - going for a cheap
price (~$70), plus there's a $20 rebate on.
Rendition V2200 (2nd gen.) - Faster version of the latest Rendition
chip. Found in the Hercules Thriller baord, and for an economy model,
try the Genoa Raptor card. You can often find this card for sale at the
on-line auction site, www.onsale.com, for very cheap prices. Not
clocked as fast as the Hercules board, but you can always overclock the
Raptor to the same level.

If you have an AGP port on your motherboard I can recommend a G200 for D3D
titles or waiting for the Banshee chipset cards (PCI) to hit the streets for
D3D and Glide compatibility as they offer stunning 2D and 3D performance. I
upgraded to a G200 from a Riva 128 and am still boring my friends about the
quality of the card :)
In conclusion if you want Glide compatibility get a cheap Voodoo card but if
you want excellent D3D, get one of the new generation "combo" cards.
