Uhm.....no, don't think so, I was able to run N4 with my V5 with some
gfx anomalies, but swapped with for a Radeon 8500 when N2002 came out, I
believe Eldred gave it an honest try with N2002 as well before he gave
up, can't see N2003 being easier to get up and running on it, but then
again, people achieve the most amazing things :-)

Not easily if at all...Especially since the voodoo cards really don't
support DX8 or higher

i've a voodoo4500 and yes you can get there~
however, the FPS are only in the 25-30 range, and lots of things
turned off.
i am running directX8.1 but you CANNOT use the 3d sounds. also much
depends on the rest of your system. i have an AMD1.6gH with 512ram.
this is running with win98... so maybe some of the other reports are
due combinations of soft/hardware that indeed - wont let you get there
:(

for all n2k3 offers, if that is what attracts you, i'd get a geForce.
FPS's there are much better (75+) plus the sound - plus the annimated
pit crews etc etc... why give all that up?

IF its Nascar you want, then get there with what you NEED~

Odd that people say that as I've got DX9.0 and GPL, GTR2002, Rally
trophy and everquest all run pretty well.   But I get what you're
saying: I won't be happy with the results.

You can install DX9 to your heart's content, still won't make your DX7
based video card support DX8 or DX9 features :-)

Yup, still have a V5 installed in one of my "work horses" at the shop,
the 2D quality is excellent, but with an upgrade to a P4 in the not too
distant future, it's days are numbered as the current crop of MoBo's
won't accept it

I got N2K2 to work with a V5, albeit slowly.  I couldn't get N2K3 to work at
ALL - it kept locking up no matter what settings I tried(resolution, # of
sounds, details, etc).

You're doing better than I am, but you have a faster CPU.  I have some of the
geaphics turned down as well.  I think I'm getting about 50 FPS with an Athlon
1.2 and a T1-4600(I thought it was a 4600, but DXDiag shows 4800...<shrug>)
