System upgrades

Your video card would more than likely be a bottle neck in
your system. Your PC would benefit greatly by fitting a  
decent 3D accellerater card. The problem is which one. 3DFX
based cards are tending to be the most supported by the
software folks, but a 3DFX will not help ICR2 or N2. Not sure
about GP2. A Rendition based card will help N2.
Now I hear that Nascar 3 will support 3DFX so, I personally
will be buying a 3DFX card next year.
If money is no problem your could have both. Rendition as the
main card and a Monster 3D 3DFX and a secondary. Each game
would use the card it is written for.
