Rick, Can we expect better framerates with Windows95 supported Soundcards, Video, ect... as compared to Dos? I currently have no knowledge as to what Direct.....(ect...) support actually means. Thanks, Ron

It depends. The video and sound companies are all working on the DirectX support, so keep up with their latest driver releases. Rick Genter Technical Lead, IndyCar Racing II Sierra On-Line, Inc.

Rick, If I have DirectX compliant drivers (Diamond 3240) and plenty of memory will the new Win95 version run faster than the current DOS version. Thanks, Anthony Kent 310HP 96 Z28 SS #1030

If I have DirectX compliant drivers (Diamond 3240) and plenty of memory will the new Win95 version run faster than the current DOS version. Is that a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM? If it is, and the new Win95 version is even as FAST as the DOS version, LET ME KNOW! My experience with 3 sets of drivers and 2 versions of DirectX were not encouraging. Frame rates were 1-5 fps slower in Win95. Randy
