Question about Sierra's 3D card and Windows 95

  As I understand it, Sierra's 3D card REPLACES your current 2D card.  I
happen to like my 2D card, so my question is this... since Windows 95
supports hardware profiles, can I have both cards installed at the same
time but disable the 2D card in one profile and disable Sierra's in
another?  I really would like the enhanced ICR2 and buying their card is
the only way to get it.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

Now why would you want to keep your 2D card ( scratching head ) I have a
sierra card in my packard bell 200mmx machine and that card blows away
anycard i've ever had not to mention some of those so called 3D cards.
Sierra's 2D performance will blow your card away i bet so just disable
that thing and use sierra's card.. I have Nascar2 and can run with every
and i mean every option on and it looks great. And i also have indycar2
for win95 and the performance is awsome. Do your self a favor and junk
that 2D card....   Smokinjo

Not to insult your machine, or your experience with 2D cards, but there
are much faster 2D available than the Sierra card. They just don't build
them into Packard Bell motherboards... :)

Don't get me wrong, I think the Sierra card (and equivalent competitor
Rendition cards) are great cards and have more-than-acceptable 2D
performance, their 2D performance is certainly NOT best-of-class.
