You will never get more than 36fps, that is the limit in GPL, no matter
what hardware or settings you have.
But, you don't need any more than 36fps, thats plenty fast enough.
The real things you want to experiment with are the no' of sounds, the
detail bias, and the *effects* (skidmarks, etc)
You could also try overclocking your V3 card, (Got my V3 2000 running
at 175 here with no probs, default is 143!) it only takes one change to
the registry, see my webpage for details, the overclocking section....
