I've got a Pentium Pro 200, Intel 440 chipset motherboard, 32 megs ram, Sound
Blaster 16, and a PCI Stealth 64 2 meg VRAM. With all detail turned on, I get
about 15fps in SVGA. By contrast, in ICR2 DOS I get 27-30fps, same settings. I
really can't wait for Nascar 2, which is supposed to use the ICR2 graphics
engine (from what i've read here.)
BTW, I tried using the 'fastvid' program and it didn't make a spit of
difference in frame rate. Fastvid was intended for the 450 chipset, not the new
440 set I have. So don't suggest I try it. :-)
