I currently have a P100 (512K cache) with 1mb S3 Trio64 graphics card,
and 16mb RAM, and want to upgrade to get enhanced sim racing performance.

Can anyone help with the following please.

1. Is there value in upgrading to a P166 - if so, what are FX, VX and HX
   motherboards?

2. Is it worth getting EDO RAM?

3. Is the Hercules Stingray the best Sim Racing graphics card?

4. What is the best budget model Diamond Stealth graphics card for racing
   sims?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated?

You're kidding right?!!?  Of course there is value if money is no object.  Of

 >2. Is it worth getting EDO RAM?

From what I understand, probably not.

 >3. Is the Hercules Stingray the best Sim Racing graphics card?

Perhaps.  Also consider the Diamond with the 2001 chip set and the Matrox MGA
Millenium.  But the best advice might be to hold off on the video until a 3D
standard emerges.
