NASCAR2, ICR2 & PCI Bus speeds

5 posts by 4 people · 27 Sep 1998 - 30 Sep 1998

Is anyone running NAZ2 and ICR2 successfully with anything faster than 33.4MHz PCI bus front. I have a PII 300 on an ASUS P2B and have tried running these sims at 37.5MHz, and 41.65MHz but to no avail. I have also tried 100MHz which is interesting that neither will run very long at this speed even though PCI is only at 33.4MHz. I have an Hercules Thriller 4mb board. This is probably due to overclocking problems with these sims, but I can run most of the 3DFX based games with Voodoo2 at the above bus speeds. Would be interested to know if anyone is successfully running these sims with a PII 350 or 400 at 100MHz? Would hate to upgrade and not be able to run these great racing sims anymore. Thanks in advance for any information or insight

They work fine on faster machines with 100MHz and up bus speeds. Are you sure your ram is capable of these speeds? - Eric
I am currently using PC100, 128meg of RAM, Goldstar.

Rick I have the exact same mobo/cpu/videocard(8MB)/ram combo as you have (down to the brand of ram actually), my PC will not run at 100mhz, it WILL however run very nicely at 4x83=333mhz, AND run N2 without any hickups, even on TEN, _slightly_ unstable ramchip in your case perhaps ? Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy UncleGoy on TEN

I have a PII 400MHz with 100MHz bus and a Voodoo2 and Nascar works fine for me. Paul
