Does anyone know what the requirments for N3 will be. I have a P200MMX screamin 3D rendition card(4MB) 64MB EDO ram. I cant afford to upgrade for a long time. Will this cut it?

Doug D wrote Even if Nascar Racing 3 is at the moment around 1year from today, your specifications are around the minimum specifications for N3. That means acceptable framerate in 640x480 with about every graphics on the screen. That is speculating, but "intelligently" ;-P - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s.

NASCAR 99 is a game for PlayStation and PC by EA Sports with an arcade theme. This does not use the GPL engine. N3 is NASCAR Racing 3 by Papyrus (published by Sierra Sports) that is very much a simulator. This is the GPL Engine. Yes. There are. ----------

Huh?? So now its release date is Summer '99? I still expected it around Christmas '98... Say, that it isn't so! Ooooh, this would then push CART(2/3?) even further back in '99, which is even worse. l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Computer *** World has some info wrong. N3 will be using the Grand Prix Legends engine. I can't comment anymore than that though but there is alot of mis-information going around about N3/N99....etc. -- Brian Tate BTate80 on TEN Assist LA for THOMAS ENTERPRISES HAWAII ACE LEAGUE http://dithots.org

Yep, that's exactly where I saw it...in Computer *** World....specifically... CGW page 105 September 98 NASCAR 99 Sierra Sports "...Dave Kaemmer and the team at Papyrus are roaring back this winter with NASCAR Racing 99..." "...The new engine, also featured in their upcoming Grand Prix Legends, is perhaps the best ever..." I guess CGW really blew it if they are THAT wrong. Thanks for the clarification. --Keith (Spatula)
