Approx. how much buffer is enough to capture 45 laps at Watkins Glen with using your ram and all but does having a big buffer (10 mb on a 128mb system) hurt your games performance in FPS? Thanks Al Stiff

My league races are 35% with fields of 14-20 cars. I set my replay buffer to 14 megs, and have never gotten an incomplete replay. Most of the time, the replay file is about 8-10 megs. You will want to use somewhat larger buffer for 45% races, but my settings should give you a starting point. The replay buffer will not effect the game performance, as far as I know. As long as your PC has enough memory to run N3 (64 megs), Windows, and the replay, you will be fine. BTW, my PC has 128 meg of ram. -Paul Western States Racing League: http://www.members.home.net/helipaul/n3.htm My reply address is false. Please post replies to this news group.
