I've been having trouble since I've tried to start to race Nascar 3 Online (or
any other racing sim for that matter). The cars are always warping. I know I
have AOL, which is a killer, but I was told if I have enough memory (128 Ram),
I should be alright. I have 191 Ram. When I race during the day (early morning
to about 4pm) I can find races where I don't have much warping trouble, but
once it hits night, it's when I get a bunch of trouble (Basically peak time,
which slows the connection speed down). I have a hardware 56K dial up modem
(Was told Windows modems will also hurt) and access AOL at 50000 kbs. When I
race offline, I have no trouble, and I even have everything turned on. Does
anyone have any idea what my problem is? Is it my connection? If it is, how do
I go about getting a better connection speed? I don't have asccess to either
cable or dsl, so my options are limited. I also have tried MSN & mindspring w/
no better luck. Thanks for any help you can offer. God bless
Kenny

As another AOLien, I can tell you that your AOL connection isn't even CLOSE to
being suited for online racing. There's too much 'extra' stuff going on in the
background... I did some comparisons earlier this year. My dial-up connection
from work might give me a .300 ping. My AOL dialup was at least .700 ping. I
don't remember the exact figures, though. The amount of ram on your system
doesn't matter, as far as I can tell. My advice? Find another connection
method...
