This is an area that concerns me just a bit.  I'm hoping that there
isn't anything intrinsic within Nascar Racing that would cause it to
have more performance issues than GPL.

GPL runs pretty good on the machine I have.  You can tell that the 3D
Accellerators are tapped out (the move from 300mhz pII to a 450mhz pII
did little to help frame rates, so it's the accellerators that are
tapped).

Does that mean Nascar 3 will run well?  Will it have the same issues as
NasRev?  Of course, we are talking about Papyrus here and they most
certainly wouldn't do to us what EA did with NasRev...

I'm sure there will be issues, but I doubt they will be this
excessive...
