This Need for Speed thread just gets longer and longer.

NFS is weird.  I've seen some of the strangest effects.

These are my results of my NFS trials.

My P90
VGA         Fine, but blocky
SVGA        Smooth as silk.

My DX4/100
VGA         Fine, but blocky
SVGA        Smooth as, but jumpy in modem games.

Work's DX4/100
VGA         Fine & blocky
SVGA        Smooth as
Funny but after the EA logo, the video sequence at the start and the auto demo is 
really slow and jumpy.  When you start a game and replay that, however, everything 
is back to normal in VGA & SVGA.

Friends DX4/100
VGA         Fine & blocky
SVGA        Slow & jerky?

Friends DX2/66
VGA         Fine & blocky
SVGA        Quite smooth.
Only I loaded the Tsenglab driver, though.

So there you have it.  If the EA people would like to post a tech faq to this board 
explaining why only certain motherboards and certain graphics cards appear to be 
supported then I for one would love to hear from them.
