     <<Got my new diamond stealth 3d 2000 card for christmas, installes
it, tried to run Nascar 2 in rendition. No luck. says "maybe no VESA
driver". Whats up? Cyrix 120 chip,16 mgs ram. What's next?>>

     The next step is to purchase a Rendition-ready card. The Stealth3D
isn't.

All together now kids...

   Rendition-ready software versions (such as included in NASCAR2)
*REQUIRE* that you have a video card with a Rendition Verite chip
(such as the Intergraph Reactor, Sierra Screamin' 3D, CL 3D Blaster
PCI, or Canopus Total3D).

   You may run the *standard* executable on *ALL* video cards, but to
take advantage of the Rendition version, you must have the proper
hardware.

   For more information on Rendition hardware...

Why is it that all of these package computers, even the Microns, come
with the Diamond 3D card??  This card is considered pretty much of a
deadend by the people who worry about 3D cards, and is of no advantage
at all to those of us running auto sims.  Yet, all of these computers
are using it.   Wierd world of consumer computers!!!
