rec.autos.simulators

    In my pursuit of more resources I've tinkered with my BIOS setting.
Just before that I did a benchmark with everything on and sound all the
way to the right and 20 AI and in the back of the field in the pits at
WGI.  I got 6.0 - 6.2 fps.  Then I went and edited the BIOS and got 12.8
- 12.9 fps.  What a difference!

    I did notice that I got a BIG improvement in frame rate when I
placed the sounds heard slider down to 1/2.  I went from that 12 fps to
24 fps. then I put the slider all the way to the left and I got 32 fps.
Adjusting the graphics didn't take as much resources as the sound did as
I only got an added 5fps after turning most everything off and at the
lowest res.  (after I left the pits I got a steady 36fps with 1/2 the
graphics on).

    I'm wondering if GPL would use the Autoexec.bat and/or Config.sys
commands.  Currently both of these files are empty.

Sound card = SB AWE Gold w/8 meg ram.
Video card = Creative Blaster Voodoo2 w/12 meg ram
(3d card is a Diamond Stealth 2000)
Mouse = Guineas scroll mouse

    It's been like a 1000 years since I touched these files in any of my
computers. So, if I could get more for GPL what would the command lines
be?

Ideally you should get a PCI card as I think they can take control of
the bus for a DMA transfer.  I have mine built into the motherboard,
but I think the the SB Live that people a raving about is a PCI card.
I think that is probably why they are raving about it.
