I have finally managed to get those both Papyrus sims and now I would
like to have a 3D Rendition card to get everything out of these sims.
Which Rendition chips/display adapters are compatible with those two
sims? Is Hercules Thriller (2D/3D with Rendition V2200) a safe choice?
I have now P133 PCI, 32 Mb RAM and ET4000 W32p PCI.

While I don't have one yet, I would highly recommend the Hercules Thriller
8mb card. It will run N2 beautifully. I believe there is a problem running
Indyfast with it, but I also believe there is a workaround to it. Maybe
someone else can answer that.

Save a few dollars and buy a Rendition V1000 based card, from what I
have heard your P133 will not get much more boost with the V2200. And
ICR2 has no problems with the V1000. My P166 w/Intense 3D V1000 based
card, runs N2 great, ICR2 kicks ass, and GPL Demo even looks and drives
smoothe! VQuake looks pretty damn nice as well. I bought my card a year
ago for $99, so they should be bargain priced now.

rocks!! I am running it on a P200, 64 meg SD-Ram, computer. In Nascar2 I
run with ALL graphics "on", drawing all 39 cars, and the only time my frame
rate drops below 30fps is at the start of a race. BTW, that is within Win
'98, not rebooting to DOS.
I also run ICR2 on the Thriller card. There is a patch that is necessary to
run ICR2 with any of the V2X00 cards, and it's available on my web site.
ICR2 requires more patchwork than most programs (no patching for N2
required), because it was a very early Rendition game.

The Thriller card also does very good Direct 3-D (faster frame rates than my
Pure 3-d card (3dfx), and I have not run into any conflicts with it. There
were some early driver problems, but they are much, much, better now. :-)
Be sure to hit the Hercules web site for the latest drivers if you get a
Thriller. BTW, it is stable in Win '98 too.
