Question about Sierra's 3D card and Windows 95

As I understand it, Sierra's 3D card REPLACES your current 2D card. I happen to like my 2D card, so my question is this... since Windows 95 supports hardware profiles, can I have both cards installed at the same time but disable the 2D card in one profile and disable Sierra's in another? I really would like the enhanced ICR2 and buying their card is the only way to get it. Thanks for any help you can offer. Eric Ruhl *** Remove "nospam" from address to reply by email ****

Now why would you want to keep your 2D card ( scratching head ) I have a sierra card in my packard bell 200mmx machine and that card blows away anycard i've ever had not to mention some of those so called 3D cards. Sierra's 2D performance will blow your card away i bet so just disable that thing and use sierra's card.. I have Nascar2 and can run with every and i mean every option on and it looks great. And i also have indycar2 for win95 and the performance is awsome. Do your self a favor and junk that 2D card.... Smokinjo

Not to insult your machine, or your experience with 2D cards, but there are much faster 2D available than the Sierra card. They just don't build them into Packard Bell motherboards... :) Don't get me wrong, I think the Sierra card (and equivalent competitor Rendition cards) are great cards and have more-than-acceptable 2D performance, their 2D performance is certainly NOT best-of-class. ---Jim
