I have an old Packard Bell (don't laugh too hard) P60, 24 Megs and no
after market video help.  Can I run N2 in SVGA?  I have no problems doing
so in N1.  How about NRO?  

Also, does N2 have random mechanical breakdows?

Anyway, I doubt you will be able to run n2 in svga.

 How about NRO?

Yes, but I don't turn them on, I have enough trouble as it is. :)

If you are happy with your SVGA frame rate in N1, you should see about
the same, maybe a bit better in N2.  Some people have reported seeing a
frame rate reduction in N2, but with equivalent settings, I got about 2
FPS more in N2.  "Try it, you'll LIKE it"

I have a Pentium 60  w/16 megs and an old Cirrus 1 meg card and it runs N2
Just fine.  I run it in Win95 using Magnaram or on Dos using QEMM8.1. I have
to lose some minor graphics like the grass etc but it is acceptable.

I don't have a PackBell but I do have a P60 and I can run in SVGA if I
turn everything off except the car detail and sometimes the objects. It
does fine for now.

I have had them on since the first race and NEVER have I had one happen to
me.

OK, that's makes 4 of us with p60's.. And I thought I was the only
one... I can run n2 (p60, 16 MEGS) in Win95 or DOS with everything
turned on smoothly (VGA) and a few things turned off for SVGA...

Do yourself a favor, save yourself a lot of problems and get rid of the
Packard Bell.

Then what's MY problem?
I've got everything you got 'cept it's P75 and 28 MB ram and I can't
get a decent frame rate in SVGA with everything off 'cept car & wall
textures (so I can see what I'm hitting). Ordered a Reactor and I'm
hoping it helps.

    I'm running on a P60 with 24 megs and when I got the reactor, I
could run all details on (including grass and track) with 20 ahead and
five behind.  Looks beautiful!!  Although, on some of the tracks you can
notice a slowdown in the turns, but messing with detail levels don't
seem to help.  Also, I'm running from the renddma.exe., not the other
one (can't remember what it is).  Highly recommend getting it if you
have a P60.
