>>People have suggested that 4MB isnt enough video ram to run the game
>>smooth.  That's not true.  I have a P2-300 with 4mb card, and this game
>>runs flawlessly for me (read, silky smooth).  Just make sure the card
>>supports D3D and you are running in a D3D mode, not software mode.  I
>>made that mistake at first, and it did run very slow.  I switched the
>>game to run in D3D mode (which my card supports, and hopefully yours
>>does to), and now i can run at 640x480 or even 800x600 very smooth.  If
>>your card doesnt support D3D, then your probably only going to get it to
>>run fast at the lowest resolution possible.

>hmmmmm Well, i think you guys dont realy know what is to be realy smooth, I

>voodoo2 just dont have enough texture memory !!!!

>Check Quake2 or racing games like Ultimate Race pro and u will see real
>smooth graphics( about 60-80 fps ), anything less then 50 is visibly jerky
!

>NFS3 is looking good, but some effects are messed up, cars are flying, ect,
>and it handless like SHIT ! Check Viper racing arcade mode or NFS1, thast
>how a good arcade races shoud handle like !

>My rate on NFS3 is 4 out of 10
