I have a P5-90, 16MB mem, ATI Mach64 2MB, Ensoniq Wavetable.
Performance is okay (>24 < 30 fps) with all details off, using
digital sound. I've tried using the FM modulation, but I get
noise in NACAR Racing, and no engine noise, and no skidding noise.
I have the latest driver installed from Ensoniq, and have tried all
the recent ones (since December) with same result. BTW, this is
in SVGA mode, to me the VGA is too cruddy. But, I have to use VGA
to run the Glen, for some reason the frame rate there is much worse.
I haven't done any tuning of the PC hardware, if anyone has any advice
I'm listening.
