CMR graphics setup........

I have installed COLIN McRAE RALLY, and during the installation process
when it asked which GRAPHICS ACCELERATION card I had, I selected the
"Auto Detect" option. When I load the game up and go to the GRAPHICS
menu, it lists the DISPLAY DEVICE as DEVICE 0. If I try to change it,
there are no other DEVICES available, so it has to stay on 0. Does this
mean that I will be playing the game WITHOUT the accelerator card doing
anything?

        I currently have a MATROX MYSTIQUE 220 with an M3D piggyback. In order
for the game to keep a half-decent frame rate I have to have all the
graphics quality setting pretty low, even with the screen resolution set
at 512x384. Which CHIPSET should I use?

        Thanks in advance for the help!

hello again!! , did the "file" solve the problem?
concerning the graphics, why not to take into account of changing the whole
thing by a RIVA TNT, better results, NO PROBLEM on installation/playing
