I have just come into contact with a P90 and the Nascar Demo and was very interested in checking out this program further, but I had a few questions: There seems to be a floppy and CD version of Nascar available. WHat is the difference between these two formats? Is there also a CD/floppy dichotomy for IndyCar? Finally, can anyone reccommend a realistic pc F1 simulation? thank you in advance... -- .__________________________ __________________________________________. | --- | | - I'm a creep...

In response to your query as to the difference between NASCAR on 3.5 diskettes and CD-ROM, there is a BIG difference. The diskette version only gives you the VGA version while the CD-ROM gives you VGA and SVGA. The VGA version is okay, but the graphics in SVGA are spectacular, however SVGA is very hardware intensive. If you are running on a Pentium 90, this should be sufficient to allow you to run SVGA with most of the graphic features turned on. As for Formula One sims, the best on the market is "World Circuit" by Microprose. This sim is about 3 years old, and is getting a bit long in the tooth, however it is still a very good product considering its age. Rumors abound as to an updated version to be released this summer.

: I have just come into contact with a P90 and the Nascar Demo and was very : interested in checking out this program further, but I had a few questions: : There seems to be a floppy and CD version of Nascar available. WHat is : the difference between these two formats? The main difference is that the CD version contains SVGA graphics whereas the 3.5" version does not. CD version also contains some audio tracks(music). I have the 3.5" version, I didn't realize at time of purchase that it didn't have SVGA. Oh well. have fun. -- **************************************************************** Have a cigar, You're gonna go far. - Pink Floyd
