Nascar 2 on 486/DX4 ?

> Anybody out there running Nascar 2 on a DX4-100 MHZ 486?? I run it on a generice 486dx4/100 overdrive. I can run lo-res with everything on except grass/asphalt. In hi-res, I have to run with just about everything off. The code was optimized for Pentium machines. I know people with slower Pentiums that claim the game runs flawlessly in hi-res. When I get my car paid off this year, I'm buying that Pentium, lo-res just doesn't cut it with that game.

Jeff, I'm running a 486/dx4-100 and I was having so much trouble getting any speed at Talledega that I uninstalled it from my machine. I could not get the car to go above the 170mph mark down the back straight in SVGA mode with all but grandstands and car texture off. When I switched to VGA, the car got up to speed with all the graphics on, but it was real blurry looking graphics. System Setup: AMD 486/DX4-100 Trident VLB 2MB DRAM w/s3 trio chipset 16mb RAM I hope this does not discourage you. SAChappy(Sean chapman)

played in high resoltion,like you I had to turn almost everything off. I now have a Pentium,the differance is like night and day. The game is more responsive and alot more fun to drive

.........Snippoed.... I have a Pentium 133 and an Intel based 486-100 so I think I can answer fairly well for you. The pentium as you would know has know problem. The only thing i turn off is grass/ashphelt texture which i dont like anyway. On the 100 I can run basiclly the same setting but in VGA which is not a problem as it still looks pretty and being a spare machine the visitor has to use it..:-) Aslo i found that I turned the cars forward down to 15 in front and 2 behind and 2 heard. Apart from that know real worries... Shane Lansky Hobart,Tasmania Australia
