Just wondering if anybody out there has tried to run a full field race with a Celeron 300a (overclocked to 450), or actual PII 450, using a single Voodoo 2 12mb and/or using a 4mb Herc Thriller. And if anyone has, what was the fps at the beginning of the race, running by yourself, running near 2 or 3 other cars? My system, a P266 MMX, gets around 8.5 at the start, 25 to 30 by myself, and drops in the 20's as an AI car passes, and I am always being passed, btw. :)
With a p2-450 128 meg ram, Voodoo II 12meg, I get 36 fps with full field... I get no framerate hits whatsoever...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this was using the Monster II 12mb. But I can also use the Thriller in my system if it could do any better. Current relevant system specs: Win 95 OSR 2.1 DX 6 update Abit AX5, latest Abit bios 64mb's EDO P233 MMX overclocked to 262, 75 MHZ system bus 5.4 gb Maxtor DiamondMax 5400 rpm HD Diamond Monster 3D II 12mb, latest Diamond Drivers Hercules Thriller 3D 4mb PCI, latest Hercules bios and drivers Creative Labs Soundblaster AWE 64, latest drivers Thrustmaster ACM game card I recently was very fortunate to recieve 2 64mb PC-100 SDRAM DIMMS as a gift and I'm now ready to build a new system. As of now my plans are as follows: Abit BH6 Celeron 300a, 450mhz on 100mhz bus 2 64mb TI PC-100 SDRAM DIMMS PCI Promise FastTrak 2 6.5 GB Seagate 7200 rpm HD's, striped set 4mb PCI ELSA Victory Erazor (Riva 128) 12mb Diamond Monster II Some cheap A3D PCI Sound card (which one is best value?) > >My system, a P266 MMX, gets around 8.5 at > >the start, 25 to 30 by myself, and drops in the 20's as an > >AI car passes > What graphics card/ram are you using?
