you're probably stuck with the VGA graphics at 66mhz. Have you considered upgrading your processor? I use an AMD-133 and run in SVGA with all textures on except road and grass. It makes planning your moves and responding to things ahead of you much easier!

Hi guys, I recently upgraded to a SVGA monitor, and I wanted to know two things....one, is there some sort of setup or config changes that I need to make to take advantage of my new monitor? I have the disk edition...Or would it be worthwhile to buy the CD with SVGA? I only have a 486-66, and I'm concerned that I will have to strip down the graphics even more to run SVGA. I'm running about 27 cars with only car detail, smoke, and skids on now (7 ahead, 3 back)...Thanks in advance for your help Lou B. Hawaii:Rustbucket
I guess you do know you have to put the svga argument in to get svga.. nascar.exe -h JC > >Hi guys, I recently upgraded to a SVGA monitor, and I wanted to know two > >things....one, is there some sort of setup or config changes that I need > >to make to take advantage of my new monitor?

I have been considering upgrading my processor but was not sure if it would help much with NASCAR. I have a 486/66 w/ a VESA LB video card. Is your AMD-133 an upgrade chip or a new motherboard? I'm just afraid that the video (slow bus speed) will be the limiting factor and the faster processor may not help much. Thanks for any help. Mike Oakes
