Here's some BENCHMARKS for racing sims.... notably missing is of course the
3dfx card. But you can see contrasts between 3d accel graphics and mere
2d.... I have a lowly (now) P133 and 48 megs edo ram.... BTW, the Viper and
Stealth II still do not work properly in CPR as far as I know, with hardware
acceleration on... When might we expect a fix in this area, Dean?
