LOL.. Mine works fine, on my homebuilt amd486dx, 133mhz (recently did a 20% overclock to 160mhz, but noticed no N2 difference, much) 24 megs of ram, though it did just fine with the 16megs that I had til just last month... yamaha opls3a sound,,, generic video board with 1meg ram,,, you didnt say if you were running in windows or dos ??? the frame rates are MUCH better in dos,,,and the replay saves every lap of a 10% or so race :) if you're running out of win95, you might experience some freezes or screen blanks occasionally,,,unless you DO have a "super puter" :) -- Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man
I only have a Cyrix 150+ with 32 megs, a Sound Blaster AWE 32 sound card, and a STB Lightspeed 128 video card and I've never had it freeze up in Windows 95 (except when the Leisure Suit Larry Screen Saver was on). -- Vincent Cosentino > > > Does Nascar 2 freeze up alot? > > Mine NEVER freezes up, Pentium Pro 180mhz, 32megs RAM. > > -- > > God Bless, > > Steve > not sure what machine you're running, droze, but be assured that you > dont have to have an absolute powerhouse like steve's....

Hello My Nascar 2 locked/froze quite often when I first got it. It turned out to be missed match memory boards. (They were different speeds as well as one was double sided and the other single). Since replacing the memory (6 Months ago) with a match set I have not had a problem. Check you memory. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports (Memeber of the Nascar Offline Racing Series) Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand
Handy^man handily spoke: Replay lengths are dictated by how much RAM you've got. I can save an entire 33% race at Talladega with the 32 megs. Give me 64, and I can probably save the whole shootin' match. BTW, 33% distance replays result in saved files of about 19 megs, so it's a good idea to use the replay editor to trim 'em down. -- God Bless, Steve (remove the <remove this> from my address when replying via e-mail)

I've got 64 megs and in DOS I can get about 2hrs&20min worth of replay, the *** is that in win95 I can only get 23 min because of the way w95 uses memory. So much for being able to save long races in the NROS. Jay Taylor Windy City Motorsports

I've had it freeze when I try to accelerate time in a Championship season. Makes it nice when you crash, you have to leave the race, but that is a little unfair in my book! :) -- Remove the "NOSPAM" to reply. Andy Roberts http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5314/
