Well after reading all the posts today about n99 I am about 99% sure I
won't buy it.
Yesterday i was 99% sure I was going to buy it. Perhaps it was wrong for
me to expect n99 to support win95 and rendition, but looking at my shelf
full of papy sims for which I built a 450/v2200 system I really don't
understand how at this point in their evolution they could not build in
support for 95/rendition.  Because I haven't played anything but GPL for
six months I was really looking forward to a nicely updated Nascar that
would allow me to run in 95 and get the benefit of 8megs worth of v2200
rendition. There is so much great stuff out ther for N2 that I see no
reason to get n99 for anything other than its ability to run  as
95/rendition. If there is some technical issue why it does not support
95 then I would glady except it. No offense to all you 3dfx owners but
after all these years of writing for rendition I dont' see why they
dropped rendition for anything other than some mystical marketing
reason. Micron should help rendition get even stronger in the future so
I don't really get it. So please correct me if I am not getting this
right, If I want to use my rendition I must play from dos, if I want to
play from win 95 I must get a 3dfx card?  It makes me wonder if
nascar2000 will have 95/rendition support? I would even except a freakin
patch. JM
