I've heard that changing the sound mode from Digital to FM will help with the
performance of the game.

Has anyone tried it?  Did it help?  How exactly do you change the setting?

Mark,
There is a big difference in performance if you go from digital sound to
fm sound. Try 'nascar -f'

Agreed.  On my 486/66, I can run VGA with most of the features turned on,
when I run with FM sound.  (Ooooo, to run SVGA with ANY features turned
on...!)

And you know what?  I actually LIKE the sounds more in FM mode.  :)

Dunno... but my 486 is as fast as a friend's Pentium because I have a
Gravis Ultrasound and he has a Soundblaster.  My sound is better and I
have the maximum "heard" setting.  He had to trim the setting.

Ultrasound's use very little CPU even with full digital sound and it's
better than the 8-bit/16-bit mono/stereo sound from a SB.  

So anyway, it's perfectly reasonable that switching to FM sound would speed
up a Soundblaster equipped system.

If I type in nascar -f, I can't load the game in svga, if I type in
nascar -h, how do I get it to load up in fm only?
