Best PC for Nascar and other racing games

Hello, A friend of mine at work is looking into getting a PC for home use and he plans on playing racing games such as Nascar on it (as well as doing some actual work in Excel, Word, etc). Anyway, he is looking at something in the $2500 range and he's interested in a 17" monitor. I think he will consider mail order as well as retail in buying a system. If anyone can give him some advice as to what PC maker is best for this type of game, what video card(s) would be best, etc. he would appreciate it. Please direct any responses to forward them. Thank you in advance for any responses... ------------------------------------------------------------ Dana A. Boisvert Go Philadelphia Eagles!

and nascar2 in a higher graphics mode. From what I have read in this newsgroup is that you need a minimun of a 133 processor and 16 meg of ram. If you get any good advice please post it. Thanx.
