Does Nascar 3 run well on win2000?? My comp is not powerful enough for
Nascar 4...
or does anyone have a better suggestion for a good Nascar game on a p400
running win2000?
Not to sound crass, but I think Win98SE is a better OS choice for a slower
computer. I have several 1+ Ghz AMDs in use at my office and home and we
still run Win98SE on them.
I guess what I'm saying is that if computer can't run N4, then Win2k is
prolly not the correct OS for it. My guess is that N3 would run on it, but I
don't know for sure. We'd probably need more system specs like RAM, video
card, etc, to be able to help. Is that 400 a Celeron, a PIII, a PII?

This makes sense. Having to use a number of different
OS's for my work, I still maintain a Win98SE installation
for all of my gaming. The overheads on performance in
games on my system (550e, geforce2 mx400, 256mb)
makes Win2k a futile exercise (not to mention LWFF
support is poor).
Under win98 however, this combination works very well.
This is *after* getting rid of that horrible card/driver combo
that was SBLive and switching to a Herc fortissimo 2.
(anyone else think creative's drivers suck?)
When it comes down to it - for all it's failings, 98SE makes
an excellent menu system for maintaining and running racing
sims. You only need a small partition - an old 2gig drive
would also do the job nicely.
