N2: 4bit and 8bit textures

I recently upgraded my memory from 16meg to 32meg and have noticed a significant decrease in fps when running n2rend.bat (I have other problems with renddma.bat as stated in another post) The only explanation I can come up with deals with the 4bit and 8bit textures. The game ran fast with 16megs of memory but slow with 32megs of memory. Is there some way to force the program to utilize 4bit textures?

Sure. Run a 16MB smartdrv prior to N2 ... -- Henrikki (Hena) Hakkanen Tel. ?(0)9-345 5538 -------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Opinions expressed here are mine and does not necessarily reflect those of my employer!
