Old P60 question/Nascar2

I have an old Packard Bell (don't laugh too hard) P60, 24 Megs and no after market video help. Can I run N2 in SVGA? I have no problems doing so in N1. How about NRO? Also, does N2 have random mechanical breakdows?

Anyway, I doubt you will be able to run n2 in svga. How about NRO? Same Yes, but I don't turn them on, I have enough trouble as it is. :) Mick in Tampa -- ______________________________________________________________________ | | | ____ ___ ___| | Mike Schreiner |CNSRL ADMIN. | ---\ / / /__ | |http://pages.prodigy.com/CNSRL | | --\ / /---/_ | | "Mick" on Hawaii |Earnhardt Rules!!| -\/ / / | | "Mick_S" on Ten | | / | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

How about NRO? > Also, does N2 have random mechanical breakdows? If you are happy with your SVGA frame rate in N1, you should see about the same, maybe a bit better in N2. Some people have reported seeing a frame rate reduction in N2, but with equivalent settings, I got about 2 FPS more in N2. "Try it, you'll LIKE it"

I have a Pentium 60 w/16 megs and an old Cirrus 1 meg card and it runs N2 Just fine. I run it in Win95 using Magnaram or on Dos using QEMM8.1. I have to lose some minor graphics like the grass etc but it is acceptable. On Mon, 23 Dec 1996 23:25:58 -0500, Mike Schreiner

I don't have a PackBell but I do have a P60 and I can run in SVGA if I turn everything off except the car detail and sometimes the objects. It does fine for now. I have had them on since the first race and NEVER have I had one happen to me. Gene

OK, that's makes 4 of us with p60's.. And I thought I was the only one... I can run n2 (p60, 16 MEGS) in Win95 or DOS with everything turned on smoothly (VGA) and a few things turned off for SVGA...

Do yourself a favor, save yourself a lot of problems and get rid of the Packard Bell.

Then what's MY problem? I've got everything you got 'cept it's P75 and 28 MB ram and I can't get a decent frame rate in SVGA with everything off 'cept car & wall textures (so I can see what I'm hitting). Ordered a Reactor and I'm hoping it helps. Brian Kinkaid bnk29 on Hawaii

I'm running on a P60 with 24 megs and when I got the reactor, I could run all details on (including grass and track) with 20 ahead and five behind. Looks beautiful!! Although, on some of the tracks you can notice a slowdown in the turns, but messing with detail levels don't seem to help. Also, I'm running from the renddma.exe., not the other one (can't remember what it is). Highly recommend getting it if you have a P60.
