I am thinking of buying a new graphic card. What is the quality like with
NVidia card with the reg change compared with the Voodoo? Would TNT2 be
enough for 36fps in GPL on a C300A or a V3-2000 would be better?

Wrong. There is an OpenGL patch. I use this patch to be able to play GPL
using my Geforce. Geforce + OpenGL patch outperforms my 2 Voodoo 2 in SLI
modus.
The only advantage I can see using Voodoo2 SLI is that the mirrors look
better. But FPS is higher with the Geforce + OpenGL patch.

It's not enough to think twice these days when choosing a card...better
think 5 or 6 times :-). Maybe you should wait for the
My Voodoo3 3000 and Athlon 800 performs 36 fps with 1280 x 1024, even
at the tail of 19 AIs. Of course, TNT2 or GeForce are well cards, but not
for auto simmers. WSC is making with Glide support. Though, only one
exception may become GP3, no announcement about 3D API.

With my old Celeron 266 and a Stealth II I could get 5 cars with all details at
36fps. I'm wondering if I put in the Stealth II card, what kind of numbers I
would pull. Has anybody tried?

you must have something wrong somewhere, I,ve got a dell p3-450 dell tnt2 std,
128 meg ram.
Can run at 1600x1200 training mode 36fps
1152x864 online 36fps
most details on, slider halfway, car and track in mirrors

I now get a jerky 36 fps around the track in resolutions from 640x480 to 1024x768.
I will ponder the issue further to see if what other changes might be made.

I also experieced sudden lockups for a while. After changing the speed of
the AGP port in BIOS, from 2/3 of the system bus, to 1/1, the lockup seems
to have vanished. Strange, but true.
