Help!

Currently I'm running GP2, Indycar 2 and Nascar on a dx4-100 in low-res. I
want to upgrade. I'm considering a P133 and a P166. Problem is, I'm not sure
if the difference in price (about $200 in my country) is justified. For this
difference I could buy one of the new Verite cards!

So what I'd like to know is:

1) What textures do I have to turn off in GP2 to run it in hi-res, with only
track, kerbs, verges and smoke in the mirrors and get an ESTIMATED frame rate
of about 23 fps on a P133?

2) What textures do I have to turn off (if any) in Indycar 2 and Nascar to get
about 20-26 fps in hi-res on a P133?

All answers will be treated confidentially :)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Hmm.. 23... I know I run with most textures on in SVGA and have about
18fps.
Lets see... I turn off sky, fences, smoke, verges and hills I believe. I
run
medium detail on most tracks but have to switch to low on a few
(especially
monaco).

With everything on in ICR2 I get 15-20fps.

I'm running a P133, PB cache, ATI Mach 64. I'm also running everything
in
win95. I have to try booting to DOS one of these days to see if it
improves.

I down loaded n2 and I was not impressed with the frame rate,the details
are awesome but if you want frame rate youll have to turn them off

The price break for the Pentium MotherBoard is with the 133mhz only a 30.00
 - 50.00 difference in price from 120mhz while the 150mhz is about 150.00
and the 166mhz is about 200.00 spend the extra cash on more ram or a 4mg
