I have a 486/33SX. It's reasonably fast for Indycar (as long as I don't use road or grass texturing). Is it worth buying NASCAR for my compy? Will it run at a decent speed without putting the graphics into CGA mode :}? Richard Mundell _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Richard J. E.

The only way I can get my 486/33 to run in 640x480 at an acceptable rate is to have all details off and run with FM sound (-f option). Also have to run with the minimum number of cars. With all this it is ok. Not very useful though. I have resorted to lower-res 320x200 with FM sound. I can run with 15 cars with a very good screen rate. I have almost all details off except for horizon and car colors (graphics). While I would love the digital sound and 640x480 graphics, I was more interested in NASCAR for the fun of running in a pack of cars and banging each other up (ahh I mean rubbing). ALthough I love Indycar, I like the way damage was modeled in NASCAR.
