I'm trying to find a decent 3d accelerator for my brother's Christmas
gift.  Like me, he loves NASCAR 2, Quake, and (based on the demo)
SODA.  The budget is low: $80-$120.  He's got a P133, 24 megs RAM, and
an old Diamond Stealth 64 with 2 megs DRAM.  I will either get him a
Matrox m3d or Stealth II s220.  At the moment, I have favoring the
S220 due to it's favorable D3D performance and the fact that I think
it will run the Rendition native version of NASCAR 2.  My question is
this: will in fact the S220 run NASCAR 2 with it's native 3d support?
I am also curious of OpenGL is supported under Win95 on this board.

FWIW, I did quite a bit of reading - including searches at dejanews -
before posting and I never could get a clear answer.  However, from
what I can tell, NASCAR 2 runs with 3d acceleration on the V2100 (as
found on the S220) and OpenGL is supported on the S220.  Any facts to
the contrary?

Many thanks for your input.

I have a Stealth II and Nascar2 works fine using the Renddma.bat.  The
card also has some OpenGL support under Win95, enough to play GLQuake
using the beta miniGL drivers.  The card performs very well, but it's
not perfect.  CART has problems with hardware acceleration turned on,
but otherwise it's definately worth $100.
