I'm a huge Nascar sim fan but this is my prob....I have a 125 mhz with 40 MB ram with no 3d card.....Any suggestions on which 3d card I should get to enjoy N1999? I'm not looking to invest to much in this older system..But I want to enjoy this as much as the other Nascar games... Thanks, Wendell

Well, ive had n2 for 2 years on my Pentium 166...and just got my new PII300 with a hercules Thriller 3d and a Diamond Monster 2....tell you the truth...I really cant see much of a difference between the 2 when talking about this old game(n2/N99) So my honest advice would be tosave your money for a new system.That 125 aint gonna cut it with Nascar2000, and your REALLY missing out on GPL right now. You wouldnt believe the physics that game has, and how dumpy it makes Nascar 1999 look. So save for a PII system with a 3d card instead of investing anymore in that machine. JT
I agree with JT, but you might want to look at the 3dfx Banshee cards you can get them for under$100 after rebates and they have 3dfx support.

Hercules Thriller 8 meg, papy sims are written for this chip so it works great.

That will be in Nascar 2000, the next generation Papyrus Stock Car sim based on the GPL software engine. With the troubles at Papyrus, any new product make me wonder if they will be in the business at we know it. We can only hope, and that the Russians learn about Stock Car Racing fast!! >> missing out on GPL right now.

Now instead of Russians it's Frenchies ;) Cendant sold their software division, so you might see some changes (hopefully on the good side) with the whole Sierra Sports architecture and the Papyrus Design Group. But at least in France racing is popular ! ;-) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--
