Hi! I installed Nascar Racing to my computer and it runs slow in SVGA-mode. I have 200 MHz AMD K6 -processor, 64 MB memory and ATI 3D Rage Pro -graphig card with 8 MB memory. There is about 600 kB free conventional memory to run programs. My OS is W95 and I run Nascar in DOS -mode. I've installed ATI's VESA BIOS extension called MACH64, but this don't seem to help - I had to turn almost every detail off to make game playable. Indycar Racing II for example runs with every detail on just fine. Why won't N1? -Markus Luoma
Install the UniVBE that came with the sim...Things should smooth out a bit. Cheers! Marc

I would not expect the same frame-rates from N1 as from Indycar2. If you are playing with 39 cars, be sure to only display 8-10 in the front and 2 in the rear. I loved that Papyrus made a Matrox patch for N1. It made the game awesome -- full graphics while drawing all 39 cars :) Jason.
