For Nascar 2, there is only one real choice: the Diamond Stealth II,
which is based on Rendition's V2100 chip. You need a Rendition card
for 3D accelerated Nascar 2, and the Stealth II is currently the best
Rendition card. The Hercules Thriller 3D, which is more expensive and
is based on Rendition's faster V2200 chip is another possiblity, but
it's not out yet. I'm overclocking my Stealth II to 66 mhz (default
speed is 40 mhz), and I'm running it on an 83 mhz bus, with no
problems. Nascar 2 flies with this setup.
