-------- SVGA is only on the CD version. Never mind what they say about a pentium being necessary. Nascar runs fine on my DX2-66. Turn off asphalt and grass texture, disable digitized sound, and it runs respectably well. Buying a pentium won't help more than a few small percentage points; my P5-90 doesn't do appreciably better in frame rate than my older DX2. NASCAR -f -h starts the game in svga, fm sound modes. Mike.

I have a 486DX66 with 8megs of ram and 1mb of video ram (VL35) is this good enough? and doe sthe floppy version have SVGA? >+---------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ >| Rich Williams | "And that's exactly what it takes to e*** | >+---------------------+ a *** proton." | >+---------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

You need a fast video card if you didn't see much difference. Try a PCI bus ET4000. I did try a P5-90 motherboard that was a real dog. Do you have 3dbench? You should get around 70 fps out of 3dbench with a P5-90 and fast video. I get 71.4 fps with 3dbench. -- |---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | "The Constitution is a radical document.

-> I was wondering - I have ICR and i love the gameplay but the vga gfx -> looks like ***put bluntly. DOes NASCAR have svga? I've seen a -> posting that says only the cdrom version of NASCAR RAcing can do -> SVGA, is this true? Could someone plez tell me what I should get but -> they have to meet these specs -> SVGA! MUST BE SVGA! What's the big deal about SVGA. I would rather play VGA at 25 fps than play SVA at 5 fps. It is *much* more enjoyable to race. I look at it this way: I am out there to race, not to sightsee.

------- Don't be silly. Stirling Moss attributed his success decades ago to his uncannily sharp eyes. If your system can support it, SVGA gives you far more and better distance and depth cues. The best case in point that comes to mind is turning in on the tri-oval at Phoenix. You can see the turn precisely in SVGA. Using VGA mode, I'm forced to guess where the corner is from the fuzzy skid marks signifying the groove; the corner is not visible. Mike.
