Indy car II(Cart)slow frames with enhanced tracks

Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I am running rendition Indy with a PII 300, 64 meg ram, Hercules 4meg thriller. The standard (non-enhanced tracks) run very well. Solid 30 fps with graphics everything on, max cars ahead, full mirrors, etc.. When I use an enhanced track, the fps goes way down. 15, 16 at times. If I turn on full mirrors, I will get 12, 13 at times in traffic. Running a converted track like Watkins Glen the Frames are very solid like the standard tracks. I would think that my system would handle the enhanced tracks no problem. Does anyone think an 8meg board would help. I am going to modify the Asus P28 and the 300 to run at 100Htz, maybe this will help. Any suggestions would be helpfull. Thanks in advance Rick Sweeney

Hmm, it ran around 23fps on enhanced tracks full everything draw ahead etc on my P133 32meg edo, with orchid righteous. And with my p233mmx and same config it hardly drops under 30fps.

U may want to try turning off the AA. Press Alt-A to do this. your fps will go up and the clipping lines in the track will be gone.

Well I figured this one out. The PCI Lantncy timer was low, I messed with it a little, and finally just red lined it to 255. The ICR enhanced tracks in rendition mode nail 30 fps everywhere, graphics everything on, full tilt boggie.
