If playing ICR2 and N2 are the goal, buy a Rendition based video card.
(There are several "brands," including Sierra, Canopus, and Intergraph
which bundle the Rendition version of ICR2 with the card, and Creative
Labs (3D Blaster PCI only) which also uses the same chipset, but
doesn't include the Rendition version ICR2.) The Sierra and Intergraph
are $175 $25, Canopus is a bit more, and I haven't a clue what
Creative's costs...
It replaces your existing video card. Don't bother upgrading your
existing card to 2MB, as it will certainly be more hassle than it's
worth (since the only thing you'll get is the *theoretical* ability to
display higher color resolution in Windows or X, but it won't improve
your games one whit...)

Get a Rendition based card.It screams in ICR 2 and is pretty fast in Nascar
2,and it works with every piece of software I have accept of course F22
Lightning but I think theres a patch for that.

I called COMPUSA today, since I plan (tomorrow) on buying a Screaming
3d card, to get prices... I asked for prices on two cards.. Screaing3D
and the soundblaster 3D pci board... the blaster PCI board, according
to the gentleman at my local Comp USA (Latham, NY) said that the
creative laps PCI board had been discontinued!
Didn't matter as I've "planned" on buying a Screaming3D for sometime.
Anyone hear about the creative labs discontinuation?

The only way to run N2 in rendition mode is to use one of the rendition
based cards. This would be the Canopus Total 3d, Creative Labs 3d
Blaster, Intergraph intense 3d, or the Sierra Screamin' 3d. At the
moment there is no other 3d chip supported. It is definitely well worth
the 150-200 dollars...
