buycomp. This card has the video in/out. Is this the best price for this card? Don't care about video in/out. If there is a better price can you please tell me where. Thanks! Thad Oh! - Is anyone here having any success racing on line with a PII 233? If so, what video card/combo are you using? And, what are you using for you connection to the net?

Thad, I'm not going to tell you what I paid for my Thriller 8meg...way more than $77......but I havent looked back, since I got it working. I have a Dell Pll 233, 64m ram,Thriller,and, now, a 56K diamond internal modem, to replace my original USR 56K winmodem. The Thriller would not work with the winmodem, so out it went.GPL is looking good, 36 fps during races with 10 AI, very driveable, especially compared to before the 3D card. I,d like to try some online racing, but VROC requires a netscape browser, I use IE 4.0 and I haven't been motivated enough to d'load netscape.BUT if you try it, and it works out for you, let me know, I'd be interested to see how it goes. See Ya! Ed White DJ and Rusty in '99 GO#2 & #88

PII 233! Hmm, I race with a P200 online and do OK. A few tweaks and you'll be fine. I have an 8mb Herc Thriller and a 33.6 connection. -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824 1998 Xoom GP2 League Champion

A PII 233 is fine for on-line racing with a 8M Thriller. You might consider turning off a bit of the extra graphics like drivers arms, beveled tires, skid marks, only 3 sounds, and have cars only in the mirrors, just to make sure your frame rate stays up at 36 fps. I raced on line with a 233 and the Thriller, in fact I hosted quite successfully. Kevin Caldwell Calgary, Canada
