ok.. heres the low down. If I was you, upgrading from a 66, I'd buy a pentium 100. I'd buy the motherboard, and chip. I could do it around here for close to 500$ A cheaper way to get svga, with less $, is a 486/100. Same deal, you need a new motherboard, and cpu. I paid 355$ when I upgraded. Note, that if you have the "OLD" mem (30pin) youl need to get new mem, 72pin. If I had to do it over, like I said, right now, I'd buy a perntium 100. I hear it runs slick as snot on a p90 too. MARK

I have a 486 dx2/66 with 16 meg ram and 2 meg video card. The game runs too slow in svga mode. Q: is anyone running a intel pentium overdrive 83MHz? How is its performance? Do you have Need for Speed? Another Q: What do I need to upgrade to make my $3000 outdated piece of SH*T run this in svga(with an acceptable speed)? Thankyou, Art LaBelle PS it runs fine in vga mode, but I'd like to use the svga mode.
