I have just gotten my Micron p200 w/32 megs of ram and I still can't run gp2 with some detail off but at 25 fps. It is a little disapointing. Is there anything i could do to increase the frame rate? I have a diamond stealth 3d card w/4 megs on vdo ram. Happy New Years

By the way try different tracks...you'll find that you can run more detail on some than others. Monaco is probably the worse in terms of detail...if you run with a lot of detail here you'll proabaly throw-up! I have to set up each track differently. I sent posted another reply re: fram rate, take a look at my comments there! oh...I wish I had a p200!!

Nope, computers simply aren't fast enough nowadays compared to their software. You can go all the way upto the latest PPro 200, and you still won't get any more frames/second. You're best solution is to wait for Windows 95-based versions of the games to appear, because then they will be using the DirectX API for Windows. With DirectX, game designers can ignore specifics of video card designs and just program for an API that will deliver the performance through the 3D video accelerators. Yousuf Khan -- Yousuf J.
