NASCAR2, ICR2 & PCI Bus speeds

by rick sweene » Mon, 28 Sep 1998 04:00:00

Is anyone running NAZ2 and ICR2 successfully with anything faster than
33.4MHz PCI bus front. I have a PII 300 on an ASUS P2B and have tried
running these sims at 37.5MHz,  and 41.65MHz but to no avail. I have
also tried 100MHz which is interesting that neither will run very long
at this speed even though PCI is only at 33.4MHz. I have an Hercules
Thriller 4mb board. This  is probably due to overclocking problems with
these sims, but I can run most of the 3DFX based games with Voodoo2 at
the above bus speeds.

Would be interested to know if anyone is successfully running these sims
with a PII 350 or 400 at 100MHz? Would hate to upgrade and not be able
to run these great racing sims anymore.

Thanks in advance for any information or insight

They work fine on faster machines with 100MHz and up bus speeds.  Are
you sure your ram is capable of these speeds?

I am currently using PC100, 128meg of RAM, Goldstar.

I have the exact same mobo/cpu/videocard(8MB)/ram combo as you have
(down to the brand of ram actually), my PC will not run at 100mhz, it
WILL however run very nicely at 4x83=333mhz, AND run N2 without any
hickups, even on TEN, _slightly_ unstable ramchip in your case perhaps ?

Beers and cheers

I have a PII 400MHz with 100MHz bus and a Voodoo2 and Nascar works fine for
me.

1. Which PCI 2 meg card is best for Nascar & ICR2

2. PCI latency and PCI Burst

3. Interesting PCI bus / Verite DMA info

4. Overclocking PCI bus to 75mhz for GP2

5. Top Speed add on toolkit for N2&ICR2?

6. Bus Overheating on hills & high speed, timing, etc. SOLUTION

7. V2000 Cards & 83 MHz bus speed

8. F1GP2 & ICR2 & Cyrix 6x86 & FPU

9. Adam @ Papyrus re:ICR2 vs NASCAR2
